-`node-sass --watch` has been reported to have *performance issues* in certain conditions when used in a virtual machine or with docker. If you are experiencing high CPU usage with node-sass you can alternatively try [node-sass-chokidar](https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-sass-chokidar) which uses a different file-watcher. Usage remains the same, simply replace `node-sass` with `node-sass-chokidar`:
