Web Essentials 2013 - Slow After Build - Lots of Directories
We have a sitecore project in visual studio 2013 that contains about 2800 folders / subfolders.
Whenever we build the project, the IDE freezes for about 20 seconds after receiving the "Build Succeeded" message on the bottom blue bar.
It looks like it has something to do with Web Essentials because when I uninstall it the problem goes away. In addition, we had many other sub-folders (5700 more). I removed them and the freeze time dropped by about 50 seconds. I have not found another group of folders to delete.
All Web Essentials "Compile Files On Build" options are set to False.
I tried changing various other web Essential settings to false (including compile on build), nothing fixed.
I tried to change all settings to the opposite to the default. No effect.
I've tried many different options for excluding files via the .jscrc file. (per link ) It didn't have any impact. (excludeFiles ": [" ** "], excludeFiles": ["** / data / *"] (<is for 5700 folders), etc.
Given my setup, I think Web Essentials shouldn't do anything during or after my build, but it looks like it does.
Does anyone know what this can do, will it slow down?
Does anyone else have many subfolders experiencing this?
Thank,
Gregory

This is not really a solution, but I cannot comment. I recently had the same problem and finally had time to look into it.
I also narrowed down the reason for Web Essentials 2013 (2.5.4 currently), went into the WebEssentials-Settings.json file at the solution level and basically set everything to false where that was true, which fixed the problem.
After trying to find the specific options that caused this, it ended up still having the Markdown on build compile option enabled, which was the only compilation in the build.
Oddly enough, I don't have any Markdown file in the solution ...
Anyway, if you've already set all compilation options when building to false, maybe help with this can help?
