[BUG][Commit #9034 - 3.1-alpha] Load time issue with 'catalog/view/theme/default/stylesheet/scss/_variables.scss'

[BeachyHeadCode]

Is anyone else encountering long load times? I did 'strace -r php index.php' on my Linux server (2.3GHz per core) '_variables.scss' file seems to be taking 1 second to load. Why is it even loading? This should only be compiled once every time there is a CSS change and not every PHP instance regardless who queries the webpage. The front end should never see SCSS, This should be converted to CSS

I hardly notice a load time (about half the time) on my Windows desktop which has a 4.2GHz per core processor. I am using thread safe PHP so it is not multi threading a single PHP instance.

Somehow someone turned SCSS caching off on the production server. For anyone that ever encounters this same problem. That would be the issue. I would suggest locking down access to this
