Slow compile time for Readme

swbloom commented 7 years ago

Somewhere between the JS task and the BrowserSync reload, Readme compile time is slowing down.

It seems like the JS task compiles extremely quickly:

[22:52:11] Starting 'js'...
[22:52:11] Finished 'js' after 8.28 ms

Gulp ran 1 task in 8.91 ms

Task     Time  % of total  Finished
js    8.28 ms         93%       1st

but BS takes a while to notice the change:

[BS] Reloading Browsers...
[BS] Reloading Browsers...
[BS] 2 files changed (app.min.js.map, app.min.js)

Some thoughts:

gulp.task('default', ['styles', 'js','bs-client'], () => {
    gulp.watch('app/**/*.jsx',['js']);
    gulp.watch('app/components/app.min.js', reload); // is this line necessary, since we're watching for changes to app.min in the js task?
    gulp.watch(paths.srcCSS + '**/*.scss', ['styles']);
});

bs seems to take a while to catch on that app.min.js have changed.. why is this process taking so long?
browsersync seems to be reloading multiple times - are these multiple reloads slowing down the update process?

Going to close this issue for now, as it seems to be pretty good.
