The test Wordpress site is very lightweight and 100/100 lighthouse even when server-rendered.
This system crawls only 150 pages/minute with the mysql daemon using ~1-2MB/s disk I/O (HDD).
For comparison, on the exact same system, the TinaCMS Wordpress plugin exports ~3,000 pages/minute into Markdown, ie 20x the speed with the same mysqld disk I/O.
I appreciate that composing a full page over the wordpress API has overhead compared to a text-only export into Markdown, but is 20x slower expected performance? If true, a 10,000-page site would take more than 1 hour to export every time global templates or pagination are changed. :((
As described, the system passes all WP2Static health checks and PHP limits have been removed. The 1-2 MB/s mysqld disk speed feels slow, even for a HDD and especially compared to node.js read/write, but not sure if this is relevant or if it can be improved.
Is there some kind of a known bottleneck during the crawling stage that I am missing?
eg the MySQL config or the API/plugin?
