Gulp Slow

[solepixel]

I'm not sure if it has to do with my local setup or the Gulp configuration, but using the default gulp command on projects can sometimes take 5-10s for SCSS to compile and another 5-10s to be injected into the browser. This slows down production substantially and is quite frustrating.

Would there be any problems switching to something like WPGulp? I know it hasn't been updated in a while, but could be forked and maintained. I have used this on other themes/plugins and it works much better in my experience.

Yes, it seemed to slow down recently, I think after some updates for recent gulp versions.

I don't work for relevance any more so it would be up to them but I don't see any issue using another gulp file.

You could try removing js and image compression on the last line to see if that speeds it up.
