Coincidentally, I just converted a small personal site from Hugo to Jekyll (a custom home page and a handful of blog posts). Took about 3 hours to make the full transition.
Build times went from 10 seconds to 0.2s.
I don't love the template language but once we've coded blog post pagination, head tags, image optimisation etc. it's rare you need much more.
The speed up feels amazing when you're developing, I love that it's a single binary as you know it'll build without issues when you return to it in a few months, and it has enough built in (Sass, minifying, JavaScript bundler, image optimisation) that you just focus on site content rather than procrastinating with your build chain.
