Computers seem to have caught up. The Java stack is the slowest one I regularly use (though it does support a certain amount of hot-recompile that other toolchains I use don't or can't), but it's never just crashed because it can't find room to store all those bytecode files.

I’ve compiled projects with javac, scalac, g++, gcc, and dmd. Javac is faster than all of them.

javac doesn't have to generate optimized machine code, which saves it a lot of time. But you pay the price incrementally in all those slow startups of java apps.

Only if stuck in Java 8, those of us in modern Java use JIT caches with PGO feedback.
