I feel like there just needs to be a good plugin that gives you proper stats as to how long things are taking and tips to improve things.
It’s usually slow css loaders, or too-inclusive patterns for loaders ending up processing node_modules, and not good enough disk caching.
There is a plugin called smc to monitor loader execution time.
Dll plugin was the best speed up to avoid recompiling things that don’t change, but now module federation is suppose to be a better solution. Disk caching in v5 will also do great things.
Thing is, it’s so complicated to setup, and debugging it involves so much config tweaking ans waiting.
I think we are a few years out from when we have nice speedy builds in webpack with good abstractions.
But then it’s a question of whether people move away from webpack because we don’t need all the plugins and transpiration and want native compile speeds.
One thing for certain though is the hype cycle will continue on...
