If this github issue is any indication we’re not alone in seeing pretty terrible load and re-load times on Meteor 1.3.2.4. There’s seems to be a huge number of files copied on every package change and babel compilation is also very time consuming.
Would love to hear of any tricks we can use to improve things.
For reference here’s a profile of what we’re seeing on a very simple application:
