Hello,
I have a brand new ionic project with no additional modules or code, using the sidemenu template, and it takes on average 5 seconds 
to compile using ng serve. Is that normal?
Also a brand new angular project using ng new takes about 500 to 800ms to compile, significantly faster than when the ionic module is included. Thoughts?
I have the latest node (11.x.x) , also the latest angular cli 7.1.x
Thank you!
