I'm running SilverStripe on Wamp on Windows 10 and it's taking 3 minutes to do a flush. Any ideas on how I can speed that up?
The computer has 16gb of memory, 2.5GHx cpu and a solid state drive so hardware should be an issue.
I notice that Apache runs at about 30-40% of CPU time during the flush.

We're using SilverStripe 3.4. The same project on MAMP on my colleagues machine takes 3-4 seconds to flush.

Thanks,
Jonathan

I'm using MAMP on Mac, so I do not know WAMP. Also of course I don't know your code. But one thing I've noticed is that, using the CMS, (in my case) FireFox keeps eating memory and can get very slow with SilverStripe flush, dev/build or even saving pages after a while. I never realized that before, but now I regulary restart the browser - hughe difference... :)

This may not have anything to do with your problem but I just thought I'd mention...

Hi
I've found that it's related to the node_modules directory. If I remove that, just as a test, it will flush in under 30 seconds.
The node modules_directory is a subdirectory of the module we're using. Question is,can we exclude this directory from the cache so it doesn't get flushed?
Thanks,
Jonathan

I don't know what's in that directory, bust try adding a blank _manifest_exclude file to it, flush, and see if it helps - and still works? You may have to manually load classes, but you'll find that out soon enough... :)

That fixed it. Thanks martimiz. Down to 13 seconds which is a lot more reasonable :)
