How to speed up sass compilation?

Question

Sass

When there are more than ten .sass files, compilation starts to take more than one minute.
Compiling with gulp-sass. the first thing that came to mind was to connect gulp-newer, but the following problems appear with it ... The .sassentry point is main.sass, which imports all other files into itself. And when I compile only the changed files, then changes occur in a separate file, but main.cssnot in the merged one.
Is there a way out of this situation?

Answer 1

It looks like you misorganized the file structure. By the way, in my projects, on average, there are 30-40 files (components and blocks, all in separate files) and compilation takes no more than 2 seconds.
The entry point is the main.sass file, it only contains file imports.
Check the organization of gulp tasks.
PS: assembly for working with Gulp, Sass, Foundation. Compare gullfiles, I hope it will help speed up the process.

Answer 2

Use libsass, not ruby ​​gem.
But in general, even when using the ruby ​​version, a minute is an incredibly long time. In our Ruby project with a customized Foundation, compass and hundreds of files connected, it took 20 seconds in the worst case.

Answer 3

I had some brakes when I used the includePaths parameter, with each new file a second was added to the compilation
