I initially thought that I was getting slower build times, but I’m no longer so sure.
Using these options, I’m getting roughly 10 second build times --debug=true --targets=JSFlex That’s about the same as I was getting before the switch to dual. Using debug=false sometimes takes over 3 minutes. I have no way of comparing that to before the dual branch because minification was broken for me before the switch. I don’t know how much of the time is being spent by Falcon and how much by the Google Closure compiler. I do think a verbose flag is a good idea. I definitely like the fact that it spits out the specified options at the beginning, and unlesss a terse flag is used, I’d like that output. Another thing to look at is why I’m getting swf output even though I’m using -targets=JSFlex. > On Jun 30, 2017, at 5:49 PM, Josh Tynjala <joshtynj...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Some folks mentioned that the compiler has gotten slower after the dual > merge.
