Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported compilation times with Tailwind and Bootstrap, then compare them with plain CSS. The issue does not identify files or tests; done means compilation after changes is substantially faster for CSS-framework projects.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Working with plain good ol' CSS without any frameworks is blazingly fast, like a 3-sec max compilation. However, things change dramatically when adding a CSS framework. For example, with Tailwind, I am getting around 1-2 minutes of compile time after each change. With Bootstrap, I am getting around 2-5 minutes of compilation. So, it would be best if this thing could be Improved.
