Just some thoughts here, I'm not an expert on this subject...

If I understand correctly (looking at the Gemfile.lock) the Aurora base theme, and any sub theme built on it, depends on Compass out of the box.

Because of this dependency, Aurora will not work with LibSass - at least that's what I learned from https://github.com/sass/libsass/issues/82, I did not actually try.

Is is feasible to make Aurora not depend on Compass, so we can use LibSass and take advantage of its performance compared to Ruby Sass? Would it be needed and possible to update the other tools included (such as Gulp) so we can have very fast Sass compilation out of the box?
