In development, the asset pipeline typically compiles only requested assets and their dependencies. If it's compiling all assets, it could be due to:

Manifest Configuration: Broad directives like require_tree . in manifest.js might load everything.
Dependencies: A requested asset may depend on others, triggering additional compilations.
Configuration Flags: Certain settings might force precompilation.
To fix this:

Simplify manifest.js to include only necessary assets.
Enable debugging (e.g., config.assets.debug = true in Rails) to load assets individually.
Precompile large, infrequently changing assets if needed.
