I’m using the Simply Static WordPress plugin to generate the files for two of my websites. It is a nice plugin with some good features and I gladly pay for it.
One of the websites is just over 5,000 files. To me, this seems like an average-sized website. SS takes nearly 15 minutes to generate the website. Tuff, my homegrown SSG that was a pile of spaghetti code, used to generate a similarly sized site in about 12 seconds – and I thought that was very slow at the time.
Perhaps I need to pull Tuff apart and rebuild it for WordPress?
