Disable Jinja's auto_reload, to reduce disk reads#200
Merged
Conversation
Any time a template is referenced, even though it's cached in memory, Jinja ends up doing a filesystem access, to check whether the template file has been modified and so would need to be recompiled. But it's not even useful to be able to modify a template file on disk in the middle of a mkdocs build.

An equivalent change to MkDocs itself proved to improve performance significantly. I can't say the same about mkdocstrings, as its templates aren't as nested, but it'll still help. And just good for consistency now.
