Why is my template being rendered 7 times per object

[darthmall]

I have a couple of arrays as global data that are built from a database. I use the Create Pages From Data trick to generate one page for each item in the array. The template (.11ty.js) that I use to generate the pages appears be called 7 times per item in the array, which seems to be slowing down my builds quite a lot.

I cannot figure out why this template is being called so often or how to fix the issue. According to Eleventy:Benchmark, template rendering accounts for almost 300,000ms of build time (7,239 calls x 40–50ms each). Well over half of those calls are coming from the 3 templates that are paginating this global data into individual pages.

Method for Counting Template Calls

It's possible that I've misdiagnosed the issue, so here's how I calculated the number of renders per-template:

`DEBUG=Dev:Eleventy:TemplateContent npm run build 2>&1 | grep 'rendered content created' | awk '{ print $4 }' | sort | uniq -c

From what I can tell in the code this is the message output whenever Eleventy renders a template.
