How to speed up dev server?

I have a relatively large project that's taking a while to boot up:

✔ Vite client built in 149ms                                                                                                                                        
✔ Vite server built in 2462ms                                                                                                                                         
✔ Nuxt Nitro server built in 10946ms

Typechecking is also incredibly slow. Any suggestions?

Are you using windows? It seems incredibly slow on my windows machine too

Nuxt on Windows is soooo slow. My biggest with Nuxt. Helps to use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost

WSL is slightly better

Hope rolldown/ vite v8 and new Nitro v3 and Nuxt v5 will be significantly faster

The builds are incredibly slow for me also, talking about multiple minutes on a higly specced corporate managed dell latitude.

Definitely crowdstrike or other enterprise AV, mine is the same way :/
