Setting up initial cache before starting the server

I just started deploying an universal app using these tools.

I’ve noticed that the first request after I deploy is really slow, then subsequent requests are fast.

From this: https://github.com/halt-hammerzeit/webpack-isomorphic-tools/issues/17 I’m guessing it has to do with building that initial cache. Is there a way I can trigger building this before the server starts?

I’m using these tools via:

var WebpackIsomorphicTools = require('webpack-isomorphic-tools');
global.webpackIsomorphicTools = new WebpackIsomorphicTools(require('../webpack/webpack-isomorphic-tools'))
    .development(__LOCAL__)
    .server(rootDir, function() {
        require('../src/server');
    });

There’s no migration since these aren’t two different major versions of a single tools but rather two completely different tools. Start from scratch.

Thanks! Am I understanding correctly that unversal-webpack would solve issue of slow initial cache since it’s making pre-build of assets?
