Here we add a precompilation setup using PrecompileTools.jl to cut down on the long time-to-first-execution (TTFX) of some functions (in particular anything involving AD takes a very long time to execute). The
precompile.jl
file covers most of the common uses but doesn't iterate through all possible permutations to still ensure that the initial precompilation doesn't take too long. Currently it takes a couple of minutes.While this really speeds up the TTFX on the user side, it might be annoying from the developer side since any changes will result in re-precompilation of the package. This can be disabled by commenting out
include("precompile.jl)
locally or as described in the PrecompileTools docs.
