# Collect Stupid - A Faster Collect Static (sometimes) for Django

When using collectstatic with remote file systems like Amazon S3 it can often slow down because up to 3 remote operations are needed for each file.

1. Determine file time stamp

2. Delete file if old

3. Copy the new file

This becomes very slow when your project grows. Sometimes it is just faster to upload everything. This is especially true if you run collectstupid close to the your remote file system, for example from Heroku to S3.

So speed up your static file deploy with collectstupid if the total size of your static files can be uploaded quickly.
