Hi,
I generate sites with a lot of tables, and I find it a little bit slow to generate:
^C[jb@localhost website]$ hugo --templateMetrics
Start building sites …
hugo v0.101.0+extended linux/amd64 BuildDate=unknown
Template Metrics:
cumulative average maximum
duration duration duration count template

when I investigate partials/head.html, I understood it used scratch to guess/adapt description/title depending on where we are on the site.
I removed this and see the impact: 640.929519ms 173.976µs 13.200765ms 3684 partials/head.html
but global time is not that different, I only saved 10 seconds Total in 123739 ms
then I looked at _default/single.html:
{{ define "main" }}
<div class="container" role="main">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-8 col-lg-offset-2 col-md-10 col-md-offset-1">
{{ partial "breadcrumb.html" . }}
</div>
<div class="col-lg-8 col-lg-offset-2 col-md-10 col-md-offset-1">
<article role="main" class="blog-post">
{{ if .Params.territories }}
<div class="blog-tags">
Spoken in these territories:
{{ range .Params.territories }}
<a href="{{ $.Site.LanguagePrefix | absURL }}/territories/{{ . | urlize }}/">{{ . }}</a>
{{ end }}
</div>
{{ end }}
{{ .Content }}
</article>
{{ if ne .Type "page" }}
<ul class="pager blog-pager">
{{ if .PrevInSection }}
<li class="previous">
<a href="{{ .PrevInSection.Permalink }}" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top" title="{{ .PrevInSection.Title }}">← {{ "previousPost" }}</a>
</li>
{{ end }}
{{ if .NextInSection }}
<li class="next">
<a href="{{ .NextInSection.Permalink }}" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top" title="{{ .NextInSection.Title }}">{{ "nextPost" }} →</a>
</li>
{{ end }}
</ul>
{{ end }}
</div>
</div>
</div>
{{ end }}
Caching {{ if .Params.territories }} had no significant impact.
Caching {{ if ne .Type "page" }} had no significant impact.
So, I decided to move the content in a partial and get this:
[jb@localhost website]$ hugo --templateMetrics

So, does it mean it simply takes time to generate all the content?
