Yup! This worked in the end.

Initially, it really slowed down the build time from 20s to +10min. I don’t even know if the whole thing would have built eventually because I killed the process after +10min.

After that, I added a bit of logic to narrow down the scope of `.Site.Pages` and possible prevent an infinite loop. I don’t know if an infinite loop of `.Content` was the issue or not but the added logic seems to have fixed things. My website now renders in the usual ~20s.

```c
{{ $here := .Page.Permalink }}

{{ range (where .Site.Pages ".Section" "in" (slice "notes" "blog" "main")) }}
    {{ if ne .Permalink $here }}
        {{ $noop := .Content }}
    {{ end }}
{{ end }}

```

And now, both the bibliography and bookmarks pages render fine.

Thanks so much!
