Compile times in development mode are slow

[fedehiga]

Hi! I'm testing you boilerplate and noticed that compile times in development mode are too slow. Each save on a scss file is taking 4 - 5 seconds to compile. Is there a way to speed up css save times?

Hi there! I have to admit that I'm not too much into frontend coding anymore, but I'll have a look at it. May be there are some tweaks for webpack to get compile times faster. I'll ask some guys for help, that use webpack more often than I use today. :-)

I pushed an updated version, that is not officially released yet, to a new branch. Could you test it and tell me if your compile times improved? Please also tell me your setup. Which operating system, node and npm version are you using?

There's an option in the webpack.config.js file now, in line 10 to enable or disable sourcemaps. This reduced compile time a lot in my case.

Here's the link to download the new version:
