Gulp processing very slow?

[lilpxl]

Hi everyone!

I used Understrap religiously for a number of years - its been great and want to start this off saying how appreciative I am to everyone involved in this project.

I recently started building my first site with the new version of Understrap (after it was purchased by the current ownsers) and am noticing that the new npm run watch process is significantly slower than the old gulp watch-bs process. At first I figured it would not be a big deal but after spending some hours working I am realizing it makes my workflow significantly less efficient.

The old gulp watch-bs process was near instantaneous, so I could make little changes and see them appear - but now I am having to wait a solid ten seconds simply to see a small CSS tweak.

Is there something I am missing? Is there a way to revert or prune out the processes to cut that time down?

Thank you everyone!

I understand- the difference from node-sass to sass is definitely noticeable. You can read more about the discussion here: understrap/understrap#1428

We've also offered this as a solution, although we can can't merge this in because it doesn't work for all users. That said you may be able to use it yourself: understrap/understrap#1598
