Precompiling assets locally

[vfonic]

Hi,

I've been using a custom script to precompile assets locally and just now switched to using this gem. This gem works great, but wouldn't it be faster and reduce server load to precompile the assets locally (if needed) and copy them over to server?

Here's the link to the capistrano task that I was using before:
https://github.com/TalkingQuickly/capistrano-3-rails-template/blob/master/lib/capistrano/tasks/compile_assets_locally.cap

It didn't check if compilation is required, but I think these two ideas/scripts can be merged.

Hi Viktor,

This very much depends on the speed of the internet connection and the size
of the assets. In my case, copying assets to 12 servers from my local
computer would be very much slower than compiling them on each of the 12
servers individually. However, I do appreciate your comment and the fact
that you're willing to help improve this gem. Any further suggestions are
very much appreciated.
