How to speed Meteor.js build times?

Question

When I make a change to Javascript file and save it, it takes over 5 seconds to build and restart the development server even if it is simple 10 line example app. I am new to Meteor.js so I don't know if it's normal, but I though changes should appear instantly (about a second or two) on a browser? 5-6 seconds feels pretty long time for me.

Selecting package versions and downloading packages seem to take the major part of the time.

There is one websocket pending (Chrome Dev tools Network tab) when it's restarting. I'm using Meteor 1.0.

That's a known problem they're working on. You can read about it and follow the progress in issue #2846.
