Rebuilds Take Too Long

Question

The larger my weblog gets, the longer my rebuilds take. How can I improve rebuild time?

Answer

You'll want to take a look at our Professional Network article on How to Speed Up Publishing in Movable Type.

One thing not mentioned in that article is that heavy use of the MTInclude tag can also slow down your rebuilds. If you're re-using a lot of content across multiple templates and files, you may want to consider using PHP or SSI includes instead of the MTInclude tag.
