Is NextJS just slow?

Not gonna lie, I've been a long time vue/svelte dev, but lately have wanted to give react a shot and decided to go with t3. I've just been messing around, and the HMR can take anywhere from 2-10 seconds, often not triggering anything at all and I have to refresh the browser. This is not a rare occurrence, and I'm not exaggerating. It's most of the time. I'm not sure why but it's just so dogshit, the DX is absolutely terrible from this alone. Vue/svelte reload near instantly, compile fast, and aren't really finnicky at all. I have a decent machine (though I am running in WSL), so I have no idea why it's behaving like this. Have vue/svelte just spoiled me? Is this really what it's like to develop in nextjs? I've made ONE component with 0 reactivity. wtf.

i know turbopack is still slower than vite but it shouldn't be that bad
