I know when I used next.js, vercel was collecting telemetry. Would be interesting for them to publish some of that data. I’d love to know the median compile time of next.js apps. On the app I worked on it was pretty slow. Like go get a coffee and come back slow.

Eventually I just got fed up and now wrote my subsequent react app from scratch.

I found quite the opposite.

Both Next.JS and Gatsby are so so fast with HMR, I really am not sure how they achieve that with Webpack. I have a few apps that are bootstrapped with Webpack and things like hot reloading take a few seconds, with Next or Gatsby it's instant.

As far as build time I've noticed all my React apps, whether built with regular Webpack or Next, all compile in roughly the same time.
