compile speed, latests alpha, slower?

[rdougan]

It seems compiling my SCSS is now quite a bit slower with the latest
Compass/SASS --pre versions. It was almost instant before, now it
takes 3-4 seconds.

Is this a problem for everyone or just my project?

[Brandon Mathis]

I'm seeing this too. Same stylesheets, but much slower.

I'm seeing it too and it's why there's a --time option in the latest release. Haven't gotten around to debugging the root cause(s) yet. If you have an inkling about what's up, do ping me.

Hunt & pecked on my iPhone... Sorry if it's brief!

Does this happen with just Sass (no Compass)? Can you produce a single-file stylesheet that's much slower than it used to be? If so, I can probably dig in and figure out what's taking so long.

[rdougan]

I created a brand new Compass project and it compiles pretty fast.
Haven't noticed anything that reverts the slowness as of yet.

Robert-Dougans-MacBook-Pro:sass Robert$ compass compile --time
identical ../css/ext.css (4.418s)
identical ../css/generator.css (4.659s)

Do the CSS files remain slow if you remove all Compass imports and mixins?

To unsubscribe from this group, send email to compass-devs...@googlegroups.com.

[rdougan]

I had to comment out 80% of my code because it heavily relies on
Compass, but before importing "compass/css3", compile time was 2.7s,
after was .3s...

I'm not able to reproduce this locally. Can you create a minimal app or collection of stylesheets that demonstrates the issue and send that to me?

Also, what versions precisely of Sass/Compass are you using?

[Robert Dougan]

Sent you an email regarding it as the code cannot be put onto a public group.

Compass version is alpha 4.

Sass version is alpha 200.

[Nathan Weizenbaum]

Okay, I'm getting compile times around 2.5 seconds without caching. Did you have caching enabled? Does this seem like the sort of too-long time you've been seeing?

[Robert Dougan]

Not sure about caching. Never enabled/disabled it before?

Compile time for me when I make a change (add a new line with nothing in it):

Robert-Dougans-MacBook-Pro:resources Robert$ compass compile sass/ --time

identical sass/../css/ext.css (4.134s)

identical sass/../css/generator.css (4.597s)

Compilation took 8.777s

Before it was done under a second. Didn't even notice it was doing it, and nothing has changed with the code.

[Nathan Weizenbaum]

Okay, I've tweaked my command and now I'm seeing roughly similar times. I'll check it out.
