Is watch supposed to be so slow?
See original GitHub issueI’m using the example code from the README and watching a directory with only three files in it. When I make a change to one of the files it’s taking anywhere between 1 and 4 seconds to report. When I simply use fs.watch the change is reported almost immediately.
Is this expected? If not, do you have any idea what might be causing the slowness?
