I've tested it against a 800 page compilation and didn't face any issues : https://github.com/captn3m0/pdp-book
It's obviously not fast enough for live-recompilations with very large projects, but for smaller projects I've run it against entr[0], and it was pretty good.

can't use pandoc because the PDF output for pandoc requires tex, and asking end-users to install tex properly is a tough call for the usecase (https://github.com/captn3m0/pystitcher)
