I agree re: speed. In my experience, speed doesn't matter until it does: I don't care about 650ms vs. 700ms, but once it passes the threshold of me alt-tabbing waiting for blog/public/ to regenerate and I lose focus, it becomes near-unbearable.

(This probably applies to all build processes, not just static site generation.)

That's the whole 'Go' community in a nutshell, speed really does matter, even for compiles. That was the one advantage Borlands' products had.

Agree, and it can be even more pronounced. I tried to move to Octopress first and it took many seconds to generate my site (forget the fact that I never got it working right on Windows). Hugo is a few hundred milliseconds. That is a big difference and matters when I'm trying to rebuild 3-4 times a minute.
