Slow Built with Millions of Pagination Pages

support
1

I tried to build an existing Hugo project on a new laptop. On my old laptop, it builds in about 10 seconds with 1,000 pagination pages. In the new laptop, the exact same content took over 8 hours and produced 10 million pangination pages. (Over 20 GB of disk space.)

The only difference: the old laptop is still on 0.62 and the new one is 0.64.

Any idea what’s causing this? Everything is identical, as I just cloned the project from my Bitbucket repo.

Thanks.

I also tried creating a fresh Hugo project and loading the existing content. Result was the same.

I started over from scratch. It’s no longer creating millions of pages (from <10,000 source pages), but it still takes 2-5 minutes to build locally.

I have MacBook Air 2019 with 16GB RAM.
