LESS compilation in my fresh Play 2 install is genuinely slow. Even after placing an '_' on files that do not need direct compilation, a page refresh after a LESS edit takes ~8 seconds to complete. This is compared to a local compile using Codekit which takes less than a second.

Any suggestions on speeding up this process? Is it worth filing a bug against Play to have this looked at?

Here are details on my file sizes: My LESS setup is very simple. _reset.less (.5k) _desktop.less (13k), _tablet.less (10k), _mobile.less (8k), _sprites.less (25k) files. An all.less (.3k) file that puts it all together. That's it. The resulting css file is 53k.
