Extension often fails to respond for periods of time about webcompiler HOT 5 OPEN

Thanks, I'll take a look at this as soon as I can; I'm currently working on a few issues that have been reported with NUglify, then I'll take a look at this, then I'll get new version published. Work has been a bit crazy, so I haven't had the time to give these projects the attention they deserve; but I'm starting to find time here and there.

I'm not sure there is anything that can be done about this, I get the same reports about most of the extensions I use, most often ReSharper.

I've also seen this version of the extension hang for as long as 90 seconds. The trigger condition seems to be when you do something that adds a file to a project with WebCompiler's "compile on build" setting enabled, such as creating a file in Solution Explorer or using the Move Type To File refactor. The hang doesn't happen when compile on build is disabled.

During builds with the setting enabled, the extension aggressively recompiles all SCSS even if there are no changed files, adding about the same amount of time to the build as the hang takes. Maybe there's something wrong with the change detection and file adds are inadvertently causing a full synchronous recompile?

@josh-bonner That's an interesting observation, I never have compile on build enabled, which is probably why I have never seen this issue. I'll see if I can replicate it now. When you say adding a file in solution explorer, are you adding an SCSS file or is it with any file type?

Any file type, Razor views and javascript for instance. I hadn't noticed before, but it looks like it also happens when you move or delete a file, so maybe it just triggers on any project change?
