App page save compaction had no effect

I was excited to see that the latest retool stable release include this function, as our app load times are getting quite slow.
(ie 7-10 second for Time to first query, plus the same again for time to productivity)

However when I ran the function (--run-pagesave-compaction) 99% of the result was something like:
PAGE 11 is or has been protected; skipping...

Given we are on prem and use version control (meaning that all our apps/modules are protected) does that mean this function won't have any effect?

Thanks - otherwise another awesome major release on an already brilliant platform. Just keeps getting better and better.

Hi Ben,

That's correct -- right now, compaction does not run on any protected apps. We can extend the functionality to support protected apps though, I'll add this to our backlog!

Ok thanks that'd be great!
