Gulp 4: increases compile time on each save

While gulp watch for changes, compile time increased with every save, even if the styles do not change much.

Running on Windows 7x64, gulp v4, gulp-sass v2.2.0

Gulp task to compile sass:

function compileSass() {
  return gulp.src(srcDir + 'scss/app.scss')
    .pipe(plugins.plumber({
      errorHandler: onError
    }))

    // globbing CSS @import
    .pipe(plugins.sassBulkImport())

    .pipe(plugins.sass({
      sourceMapContents: true,
      sourceMapEmbed: true
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest(srcDir + 'css/'))
    .pipe(browserSync.reload({stream: true}));
}

This problem occurs not only when compiling SASS. I watch it from Gulp 4 and when compiling Pug. (In a completely identical repository from Gulp 3, I do not observe such a problem.) Win10.

Apparently, the authors of the Gulp 4 are more comfortable not to get this problem 😦 https://github.com/gulpjs/gulp/issues/1748 This is the opensource, baby! )))

ps: the problem can be solved if you avoid using **/ in the gulp.watch. To write not **/*.scss, and to specify more precisely: yourDirectory/*.scss This solution is not convenient, but I have not found another yet.

Has this been fixed? I feel like still experiencing this.
