Compilation very slow with TS v3.4

See original GitHub issue

What happens and why it is wrong

Once I upgraded TS to v3.4.2, the compilation time is very slow. With TS v3.3 my project built in ~20s and with TS v3.4 it takes ~5mn.

I tried with clean: true, I tried to add typescript: require('typescript'), I tried to upgrade rollup and all the related plugins… Each time, same result the compilation takes a lot of time.

Note: when I run tsc -p tsconfig.prod.json directly, it takes less than 10 seconds to output the dist.

Environment

For anyone else coming to this issue after finding rollup builds were intolerably (25 minutes for a large project) our solution after some investigation was rather simple. Setting declaration: false in tsconfig.json resulted in builds going down to under a minute. We now generate typings separately using tsc which only takes about 10s.

@ezolenko Sorry for the late reply!

I put clean: true and upgraded rtp2 to 0.20.1. Here are the results:

TS 3.3.3333

build -> 18s
tsc   -> 14.39s

TS 3.3.4000

build -> 17.3s
tsc   -> 14.39s

TS 3.4.1

build -> 5m 25.1s
tsc   -> 21.26s

TS 3.4.3

build -> 5m 52.7s
tsc   -> 21.57s

Additionally there is this issue on the TS repo which seems related but I have @types/styled-components pinned to v4.1.4 so it doesn’t cover my case.

Let me know if you need more infos.

For fun I also tried the latest 3.5 build:

TS 3.5.0-dev.20190413

build -> 1m 23.5s
tsc   -> 18.84s
