Research direction

Reproduce the report with rake generate and inspect _config.yml and the generated-site workflow first. Use the reported roughly two-minute run as the baseline; done means site generation is materially faster and previewing changes is practical, since the issue gives no target time or named failing test.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Maybe because of the size of the site, or we're doing something wrong.. but the site takes around 2 minutes to generate on my laptop; and has made previewing changes a nightmare:

~/code/www.ruby-lang.org => time be rake generate
Configuration file: /Users/zzak/code/www.ruby-lang.org/_config.yml
Building site: /Users/zzak/code/www.ruby-lang.org -> /Users/zzak/code/www.ruby-lang.org/_site
