Just think of the immense amount of work a compiler is doing to compile a decently sized C++ or Rust binary. If there was a need for it, static site generators could be scaled to tens or hundreds of thousands of pages and still finish in a few seconds. Caching partial results is always an option. There are generators that are decently performant, like Hugo (Go) [1] or Zola (Rust) [2]. [1] https://gohugo.io/ https://gohugo.io/ [2] https://github.com/getzola/zola https://github.com/getzola/zola
