I recently looked into how I could make my setup:static-content:deploy process faster. I then came across the --jobs flag.
This flag makes the process parallel, and even when you specify only --jobs 1, it massively speeds up the process. In my case, it went from roughly 111 seconds in the default behaviour to roughly 24 seconds with --jobs 1.
So, what’s the reason for not making this the default behaviour?
Because it seems like a really odd choice to me.
