This, 1000x times. I have over 1200 posts on my blog http://paulstamatiou.com and I've purposefully avoided stuff like pagination, related posts (lsi) at the end of articles, tags/category pages and other features due to slow time. I'm at about 60s on my Macbook Air now which I can deal with.
But when I'm writing a blog post and I constantly want to preview it in the browser (since lots of my posts have images and such I prefer seeing the real layout than purely in sublime text 2) I use a rake task I have that stashes every post but the one I'm working on so it only generates the one post.
Edit: and a faster generation time means I don't have to feel bad using lots of liquid filters / includes (which can help clean things up and organize my site).
Two things I'd like to see (which I've had to fork my jekyll for) and that I'll put on the github:
- "multiviews" support (it's how I get all my links to have no .html ending, well that and some rack:rewrite rules)
- support for different post types that are not in the main site.posts. I only have 2 types now but for a while had a regular post, a shorter "aside" style post that was not in the main feed nor homepage and had its own index and feed, and another post type for photos. These go beyond just different layouts. Though this is more of a CMS feature than a blog feature which may be a direction thing that Jekyll is not intended for. ?
I read parkr's above comment and was about to search for your blog (where I first read about the insane site generation times), but then I found your comment just below. :)
