IR vs Legacy compile time - in my project, after a build and then browserDevelopmentRun --continuous, after any small change in Legacy and I get a rebuild time of 2-3 seconds. Changing to the IR compiler, rebuilding and running continuous, I get build times of 22-23 seconds... is that large increase when using the IR compiler normal?

Yes for now. IR is still missing incremental compilation

OK, thanks, good to know the reason.
