Possible performance issues

Bug Report

I am getting a slow performance generating my blog, detailed here:

getzola/zola#2508

It's possible Tabi plays a part here so I hope you don't mind I pull you in.

Do you have any idea what in the page or atom template could be causing slowness?

I have gone live with my zola and tabi based blog yesterday by the way, thanks for all your help! I like it:

I've done some experimenting, and if I stop using the evaluate_setting_priority macro the build time goes from 8+ seconds on my laptop to under 1 second. I'm not sure why this happens, but it's pretty drastic.

Thanks to the zola devs, this change speeds up the build times massively. It takes less than 700 ms now on the same machine. In evaluate_setting_priority change:

{%- set current_section = get_section(path=last_ancestor.0) %}

to:

{%- set current_section = get_section(path=last_ancestor.0, metadata_only=true) %}

Thank you so much! Sorry I didn't have time to check this earlier, but I'm really happy you managed to solve it! Merging the PR now.
