- Tyrant505 15y agoAfter 60 posts Jekyll is slow to compile? I was just considering giving it a try but this is quite a turnoff.
- dabit 15y agoWorth mentioning that we were using 0.10, took around 1 minute on a brand new MBP. Worse on older machines. Enabling LSI for related posts made it worse. Maybe its fixed on newer versions.
- patrickaljord 15y agoOctopress has a "rack watch" task that updates the code in realtime, not sure if it comes with jekyll too. It's super fast here.
- ephoz 15y agoHey, we're using jekyll (0.11.x) to generate http://dev.af83.com/ http://dev.af83.com/ which is about 320 posts. It always takes less than 30secs on my laptop (Lenovo X220).
- southpolesteve 15y agoIf hosting on heroku, you can use a buildpack which will do all the compiling server side
- mhansen 15y agoYeah. It gets annoying when you just want to write one blog post, and you feel like it shouldn't have to recompile everything else. I profiled it once, and most of the time was spent shelling out to python to do the syntax highlighting.

- dotBen 15y agoI'm incredibly biased because I'm part of the WordPress community, but IMHO the static-posting model employed by Jekyll (and I guess fading-stalwart Movable Type) is fundamentally flawed for two reasons: 1) you are penalized for writing more and more content as your rebuild time will increase the more posts you have. 2) you cannot have any dynamic content that queries the database or dynamically builds the page other than at build-time. I'm not sure whether the gem created by the OP is the holy-grail of Ruby based blogging, but it does seem as though Jekyll's current popularity is because it's the only decent Rails-based blogging tool out there, not because it's particularly well suited to the task.

- danneu 15y agoI think you meant Ruby instead of Rails-based. Some alternatives that come to mind are Toto (Git-based like Jekyll) and Typo (Rails-based). Frankly, I'd rather have a Rails blog with page caching than use Jekyll.
