I have an interesting Jekyll performance story. I was trying to build a website [1] that was going to be the new destination for git information. The site is a static site and I figured that since Jekyll was integrated into GitHub, it would be simple. My script downloaded all of the git documentation from the linux kernel website, did some parsing of the HTML files adding front matter, and then tried to generate the site. My Jekyll(Ruby) script was running over a day and never finished. Hugo(Go) ran in about 5 minutes. Granted there are over 10,000 pages being generated by Jekyll but it was so painfully slow, I couldn't possibly have a daily CI system that generated the site. I'm still fixing some https issues with GitHub static site hosting, but it should be working soon. [1] - https://github.com/dvcs/gitdvcs.com https://github.com/dvcs/gitdvcs.com
