Command
serve
Is this a regression?
The previous version in which this bug was not present was
18.0.1
Description
After upgrading my project from Angular 18 to Angular 19 using ng update, I've noticed a significant performance degradation with ng serve. Previously, rebuilds were much faster, but now they take up to 10 seconds or more.


Minimal Reproduction
https://github.com/Oussemasahbeni/saha-meter-frontend
I made the repo public until the issue got resolved, its a close source project for my company
Please check the clean-up branch

Anything else relevant?
I managed to make it a little bit faster by disabling aot in development
"development": {
"optimization": false,
"extractLicenses": false,
"aot":false,
"sourceMap": true
}
but still a lot of people told that is not a solution but a workaround and it can hurt the project in the long term
