Gatsby: [gatsby-plugin-sharp] generates same avatar hundreds of times

[ciokan]

I have a blog with close to 200 hundred posts where one of the GraphQL queries fetches the author for each post (name, info, avatar). The problem is that I only have 2 authors in there but, when building the site, Gatsby is re-creating that avatar over and over...for each post. I can see it in Netlify's console log:

8:13:53 PM: warning

Apparently the avatar is smaller than the desired state but it's a good thing because this way I'm able to see where the holdup is.

I'm using fragments to query for the data but I see no reason why it would matter:

post which calls author

Any idea about how to make Gatsby understand that this avatar was just created milliseconds ago and re-use that one instead? It has the exact same parameters as hundreds before it and I see no reason why it has to create it over and over again.

I'm more concerned about the build command because 99% of the time I get a timeout in Netlify due to this.

@freiksenet Any idea why that could be happening?

@wardpeet is looking at this, possibly could be an issue with sharp's job queue.

@ciokan sorry for my late response. If the same image is used we don't process it multiple times. We only do the heavy lifting once but sadly we show up the warning for each image.

Or are you facing an issue where we do generate the icon 100 of times?

[ciokan]

I'm just trying to track down what exactly is slowing the deployment. I'm not seeing hundreds of avatars being generated. I thought it generates the same avatar hundreds of times though. If there's just a warning being sent to the console it's fine with me. I didn't know that - hence the ticket.

Hi @ciokan

I'm experiencing this issue and I was wondering if you found out what was causing this issue for you?
