Slow jekyll build time? How to improve?

@VillyVretthorn

I have a site with around 500 md files. The .md files are about 21k lines in total.

This takes abou 30 seconds to run a jekyll build.

In the folder with the 500 md files, there are also some images (around 120-130 images), but I would not expect jekyll to try to parse those?

This is quite a big site. Why would you need to rebuild it every minute?

Note that incremental regeneration is still an experimental feature. Maybe this answer will help you somehow.

I can recommend this jekyll build --profile You’ll get a table and you can see which pages are causing the most computation expenses.
