Re: CPU & platform for best compilation performance
Ah right, I missed that 0.5.13 was released. I've opened https://github.com/bhauman/lein-figwheel/issues/597 to discuss the caching issue further.

Thanks for the response! Isn't that change already active in I noticed the change in 0.5.13? I actually tried that release, but it did not make a difference for me.

Re: CPU & platform for best compilation performance
Hi Maarten Once https://github.com/bhauman/lein-figwheel/pull/586 is released, that should improve your browser load time somewhat, as you won't need to do empty your cache and do a hard reload.

Re: CPU & platform for best compilation performance
Shot in the dark, but dependent namespace compilation may be the source of your CLJS compiler slowdowns if you have tons of namespaces. Try seeing what happens when you set :recompile-dependents to false in the CLJS compiler options.

Re: CPU & platform for best compilation performance
Thanks, appreciated! Compiling the CLJ side takes about 30 seconds, a non-optimized CLJS about 60 seconds, and an optimized CLJS about 120 seconds. I am very well aware that these absolute numbers are not so high, at least compared to languages such as Scala. However, I perform recompilations several times per day, and this adds up. What adds up even more, is the time it takes for Chrome to perform a hard refresh of the page (about 6 seconds), which happens many many more times per day. Funny that you mention large namespaces as a possible problem, because I personally had the impression that in a Figwheel environment, having less-but-somewhat-bigger namespaces was actually preferable to having more-but-smaller namespaces. FYI: I currently have about 200 CLJS/CLJC namespaces, differing in size between 50-800 lines on average. The total amount of CLJS/Javascript code loaded during development is about 20 MB — which doesn't seem out of the ordinary, right? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.

Re: CPU & platform for best compilation performance
"My codebase (mix of CLJ, CLJS and CLJS) is about fifty thousand lines of code, and compilation times are starting to interfere with my workflow happiness. In addition, Chrome Devtools is becoming somewhat sluggish due to the high number of separate namespaces loaded through Figwheel." That's not an insane codebase size, but I wonder what your actual compilation times are? Honesty, I'd be surprised if you even got a 20% speedup in a compiler by simply upgrading the CPU. CPU tech improvements are more often focused around numerical computing and vector optimizations. When there are massive leaps forward in raw execution performance, they're often less than 20%. So perf numbers are important here. Also if figwheel is loading large namespaces into the browser, and running a lot of hooks to patch up the running system, that can also affect performance. I'd recommend taking a look the CLJS code in a profiler and seeing where the slowdown is. Perhaps the namespaces are too large and figwheel is sending across megabytes of JS, or perhaps there's a bad algorithm somewhere.
