When using Visual Studio 2013 to publish a web application to a server using WebDeploy, why is it slow and speed up the process?
If the application is deployed from one computer, the update speed is significantly improved, since it only updates the modified files.
If the application is being deployed from another computer, then each file is downloaded again, even if it has not changed. I suspect that VS uses a primitive file timestamp check to determine whether to update the file or not.
The problem is that an application weighing up to 70 MB may take some time to update.
