Description

  • NTVS Version: 1.4.20802.1
  • Visual Studio Version: 2017 15.8.4
  • Node.js Version: 6.2.2

Node JS projects are taking twice as long to build as standard TypeScript projects (creates via the ASP.Net project types).

This is quite noticeable in large solutions.

Is there a way to profile this to see what's causing the slowness?

I should add that there is nothing special about the code in the projects. They are pretty much identical across Node and non-Node projects; just standard TypeScript.
