hexo: hexo generate slow with 400 posts

Is this a normal generation time for 400 posts? seems awfully slow to me. Every change I make on a layout or a css takes ages to be generated. hexo g -w is barely unusable.

FWIW:

Use cache. With this change, the generation time shorts from 3 min to 3 s for about 800 files. Reference: https://github.com/hexojs/hexo/issues/1769 — committed to zklhp/maupassant-hexo by zklhp 7 years ago

git clone -b source git@github.com:chilly/chilly.github.io.git git submodules update hexo generate

hexo generate is too slow. only 600+ posts. And cost more then 10 mins.
