Page reload takes forever

[jtreitz]

Hey guys,

this might not be the best bug report ever but this thing keeps driving me nuts. I use sinatra-assetpack 0.2.1 and my configuration looks like this:

configure do
  assets {
    cache_dynamic_assets true

    serve '/javascripts', from: '/javascripts'
    js :application, [
      '/javascripts/lib/underscore.js',
      '/javascripts/models/*.js',
      '/javascripts/collections/*.js',
      '/javascripts/views/*.js',
      '/javascripts/application.js'
    ]
    serve '/stylesheets', from: '/stylesheets'
    css :application, [
      '/stylesheets/reset.css',
      '/stylesheets/index.css'
    ]
    serve '/images', from: '/images'
  }
end

Every page reload takes up to 25 seconds since all the assets are reloaded every damn time. I was under the impression that _cache_dynamicassets wants to fix this but it did not for me.

Am I missing something?

Thanks! JT

That's slow! Never got this kind of issue, could you see if its specific to JS or CSS assets OR the page rendering itself?

Ex. try getting /css/application.css VS /js/application.js, VS /

And could you specify which css/js preprocessor you are using if any (sass, less, coffescript, etc)..

oh, the reason is tmp/always_restart.txt keeps restarting for every asset loaded which sums up to 15 x 2secs. Looks like my sinatra workflow needs an update. Currently i'm using Pow and said always_restart.txt so I dont have to restart the server when I made changes. Do you have any recommendations?
