Publishing Library speed varies enormously

[h_v_b]

I’m working on a library file and the speed at which the library gets published is random.

Sometimes pushing 20 changes is fast, at others pushing 2 takes >10min or fails. Publishing in the morning is fast enough, but as the day goes it becomes unworkable, which is a problem for our team as it’s not possible to push library updates.

I’m using the desktop app, but the same issue appears on the browser.

Opening the activity monitor, I can see the Figma (renderer) using one of my 8 CPUs at 100% but it never uses the other CPUs. Why is there no multi threading (hope that’s the correct term)?

What can make the publishing time so slow? What can I do to improve it? Is there a way to contact the @Figma support directly?

You can reach out to Figma Support via the support request form or support@figma.com.

Thanks, wrote an email.

Are there best practices on how to split elements across different library files ? The fact that moving components from file to file is a bit scary and makes it so that you need to do quite some proper planning, and I’m not sure I understand the constraints.

I think this can help:

Move master components from different files to a new library

My plugin Master can help you with that. It’s a bit of a manual process but Master can attach everything and preserve all overrides. Here is how it would work: Copy the main component you want to move to the library and publish it. Select this new library component, run the command: Plugins → Master → Pick Target Component.
