Webpack4 got much slower with startup and recompilation of TS compared to 3.

ts-loader / fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin maintainer here. I'm sorry to hear that's been your experience. It hasn't been my own; it could be worth you comparing your setup with one of the examples available. These are some good candidates:

You may of course you may be using another typescript loader (there are several!). I thought it worth sharing in case you are using ts-loader and your config is catching you out.

Best of luck!

Curious that wasn't my experience, it was about the same.

If you use Babel 7 alongside TS you can use the typescript preset to speed up builds a lot. The downside is that you don’t get typechecking on compilation.
