Meteor 1.0 - Why does “Creating an Application” take much longer than before?

Question

So, I just upgraded to Meteor 1.0. When developing the application locally, whenever I update any of the js files, it takes ~ 15 + seconds to create the application, during which the console says “Build the application”. Erg!

Is this new behavior in 1.0? It took 1-2 seconds to view the changes made to js files on localhost (taking into account what I consider the latest version, I think, from 0.9.1). It was functionally instant. And now there is a huge lag during development before looking at the changes, which makes fast iterations of the code / test longer than before.

How to get around this and make the build process faster when developing locally?

As Werner noted, you are describing issue # 2846 ( https://github.com/meteor/meteor/issues/2846 ). They are working hard to ensure that this is established in order to make quick testing more enjoyable again.
