I was talking about not updating, not not precompiling:

I gave up on updating all packages # Disable updating registry on `add` (still runs on `up`), as it is slow using Pkg: Pkg Pkg.UPDATED\_REGISTRY\_THIS\_SESSION[] = true # use more colors for displaying Pkg conflicts if isdefined(Pkg.Resolve, :CONFLICT\_COLORS) append!(Pkg.Resolve.CONFLICT\_COLORS, [21:51; 55:119; 124:142; 160:184; 196:220]) end # Setup Revise.jl atreplinit() do repl try @eval using Revise @async Revise.wait\_steal\_repl\_backend() …

But I guess someone may not want to precompile (?)
