Compass isn't very well maintained and someone I work with even said it may be discontinued. I'd look at a lighter mixin lib like bourbon (http://bourbon.io http://bourbon.io) and pull other elements from other places (e.g. grid from Susy (http://susy.oddbird.net/ http://susy.oddbird.net/), which has now been rewritten to not depend on compass anymore).
