In every update I do I see the pre-compile cache file increase size. Just did now and the cache file grew 14 MB from what it was from a version with 5 days. For GMT (with a reduced number of pre-compile cases than last relrease) with v.10b3 file size is 59.8 MB and with (today’s) nightly it is 84.6. Looking at Makie that has also a large cache file, the difference is 124 vs 190 MB.

That’s… a great question. No immediate answers come to mind. We might need to bisect it…
