What I did was:

File Explorer -> Right Click on Drive -> Properties

Tools -> Optimize

Select Drive -> Optimize

Maybe someone can test if this changes anything for him.

Windows 7 does not have the "Optimize" feature.

Afaik defragmentation is useless with SSDs.

I also tried installing Samsung SSD Magician which offers certain tools for Samsung SSDs, however it does not work with OEM Samsung SSDs such as mine.

Sorry I don't have a Windows 7 system near me to test. Maybe we can look into it on Thursday. Currently I think it is related to the NTFS filesystem and not the go binary as I see the same execution times with the linux binary running on the mounted NTFS drive. Whereas the times on an ext4 partition are still faster.

I tried the "Optimize" feature (Windows 10), but it did not change anything.

Without the "-w" option it's close to 3 seconds, with "-w" it's around 8 seconds.

Sure. For me it's not a big problem to wait 7 instead of 3 seconds anyway.

sebastian.menski lets talk about this

Hi all,

I just updated our patched Hugo version to the latest Hugo release v0.16. You can download it from the nexus: https://app.camunda.com/nexus/content/repositories/public/hugo/

philipp.ossler could you test if this version improves the performance on your machine?

Cheers,
Sebastian

sebastian.menski: this version is much faster - especially in watch mode (server -w). Thanks!

Thanks Sebastian

I close the issue for now as v0.16 does seem to improve the performance. Feel free to reopen if the performance drops again.
