My system has a midrange amd cpu with 6 cores. I have an ssd.
I think the issue has to do with procedural macros in maud. The project is about 1000 dependencies and 10k loc.
Combined with tailwind classes and a complex ui, the templates get bloated. I have to test this theory.
that is too much. i use something with 900ish, and even withh cached builds, it takes like 20 mins, we just have too much linking going on
Couldn't agree more here, 1k dependencies would take a while to build even on my 9950x3d if only due to linking.
It seems to me like the the issue is the project is either too bloated, or large enough to justify a workstation build. Breaking it into smaller, independent parts would also help here.
Thanks that's a great idea. I will try breaking it up into crates.
