Why do the other files get recompiled? they should be recompiled only if there is change in them.

  I have no idea. That's what I'm seeing when working with my project. Literally add one character to one of my liveview modules: Rebuilding... Compiling 67 files (.ex)

    Probably macros.

    It's worth your time to investigate this, it's fixable. Check out mix xref to investigate dependency chains between files in your mix project. In the project I work on, it turned out a module `use`d by almost every controller included a function (totally unused, btw) which, through a little bit of indirection, caused a circular compile-time dependency between all of them. So any change to any controller caused hundreds of files to rebuild.

      Never heard of xref. I'll take a look thanks!
