How does memory usage look like? We probably keep many strings in memory, what does gatsbyjs.com say? |

No idea. Will have to test this later. Currently have everything wired up for tracing. |

This function (
cacheScope) takes a bunch of imports and exports, generates a snippet of JS, conditionally runs it through Babel, and writes the resulting snippet out to a file. The filename is a hash based on the resulting data.This means that if
cacheScopereceives the same inputs, it will have the same behavior. Writing the same output to the same file, over and over again. This PR stops that.It uses a global set to use as session cache which I think is safe since these files should not be deleted during a build (not even
develop).Tested this on
gabe-fs-mdxat 100k pages.The sourcing step went down from 260s to 200s, roughly a 25% perf win.
(Unfortunately the page query step is still 50 minutes)
This work is roughly based on #25808, which I abandoned after some time (I forgot why). I feel pretty confident about this PR.
