How to speed up build process

[michfuchs]

I'm using the dotnet tool and msbuild to compile the docfx documentation for my projects.
<Exec Command="dotnet tool run docfx" ContinueOnError="false" />

The process takes quite some time (1min for a small project), is there any way to speed it up?

One clear candidate I see is avoiding testing for packages which need to be restored. Is there any way to tell docfx not to do this?

As an aside, any idea how I fix this?

It can be skipped by setting norestore option to config.

Thanks, this works and saves me about 10sec each build.
