In my local dev, when I start the server, it ALWAYS compiles. Even if I have not changed any code. This is annoying, and hopefully someones knows why.

My main question is even after this compile, when I make the first request, it compiles AGAIN.

✗ mix phx.server

Done in 2711ms.

Now I make the first request, and:

Compiling 67 files (.ex)
Compiling lib/myapp/.../resource1.ex (it's taking more than 10s)
Compiling lib/myapp/.../resource2.ex (it's taking more than 10s)
Compiling lib/myapp/.../resource3.ex (it's taking more than 10s)
Generated myapp app

Almost all those it's taking more than 10s are Ash resource files. Also wish I knew why that was so bad.

Sadly, I have no clue when this started. I haven’t really paid attention to startup for months since I rarely had to do it.
