Building site in parallel

[KasperSkytte]

I see this has been given a shot previously (#744 and #745), but I still want to give a huge (but still n=1, unfortunately) vote for trying to implement parallelization in one way or the other for all build_* functions.
I often have to wait ~15-20 mins for all pages to be rendered, and as the pages are rendered independently, it must be well suited for parallelization with a big speed increase?

I think this will need #749 first — then every example and every vignette could be built in a separate process, run in parallel.

Thanks for filing this issue! Unfortunately, I don't we're likely to implement it — it's been open for ~3 years, and there continue to be items with higher priority on our to do list. It's our policy to close such issues to help stay focussed on the biggest problems, but the issue is still indexed by google, so if other people hit it, they'll be able to find it, and we can consider reopen it if it turns out to be a common need. Thanks for reporting and I'm sorry we couldn't help more 😞.

Hi Hadley

I understand. Nowadays, GitHub actions will render the website anyways, so it's not a big deal anymore, at least for me.
