How long does it usually take for a small site to be generated using Simply Static? I tried it once before, and wasn't very impressed by the performance (I don't think it's a problem with the plugin, but maybe PHP itself).

Simply Static itself takes about a minute, but it's actually a decent amount longer because we have to simulate a browser and run retry logic to handle failures. All in all, with post-processing included, the static blog generation is the single longest part of our deployment process.

Ultimately it isn't a huge deal for us though, since it runs concurrently with other build/deployment steps that in total (sequentially) take a similar amount of time.
