VSLOW Localhost dev in 5.7. with Coda / Codekit. Stop C5.7 compiling less?
Permalink
Hi There
I develop on my imac (quick) localhost with MAMP PRO, Coda and Codekit using Codekit to compile my .less files (bootstrap 3).
For some reason my localhost is now much slower than it used to be with earlier versions of C5. My computer is much much quicker, the software is all up to date and legit and the whole setup seems tight. However when I refresh I get a slow refresh either in Coda preview or any browser. Its manageable normally but not when devving up custom themes and having to constantly wait to precview small CSS changes/
I have all the Cache options set to off in C5, however I wonder am I missing something?
The theme development is pretty slim and tight, there are some font calls and html5 shiv but not much and from CDNS. It is on a clean C5.7.9 install with no content.
I wonder can I stop C5 trying to compile the less as Codekit does all that work for it so I just need it to load the main.css it is presented?
I am pretty experienced with C5 nd have built 50+ sites with it but don't know what the issue is.
Thanks in advance.

If anyone finds this in future I did a few things to speed up my local flow.
Removed remote IP access from Codekit.
Reset Codekit and refreshed the relevant projects.
STOPPED USING GOOGLE CHROME - god its crap. I gravitated toward sit for a while as I preferred the dev tools. but now the Firefoxones are much better with rulers and all sorts.
Started using the select user agent feature in Coda to use firefox to preview my files.
Things seem to be running quicker now.
good Luck
