Description
### Which @angular/* package(s) are the source of the bug?
compiler
### Is this a regression?
No
### Description
Hello,
I noticed that the spread operator is significantly slower (sometimes more than 2x slower) when using vite instead of webpack.
This doubles the loading time of some of our components.
In my [minimal reproduction](https://github.com/jopelle1/repro-angular-vite), I get an average of 10ms with webpack and 35ms with vite, with both firefox and chrome.
Is this indeed an issue with angular and is there any way to fix it?
Thank you

Research direction
Start with the linked minimal reproduction, jopelle1/repro-angular-vite, and compare the spread-operator timing under the application builder using Vite and webpack. Trace the Angular compiler and application-builder paths involved, then verify that the reported performance gap is resolved or clearly characterized.
