So, I decided to try this for a real-world project and compare the results. This is for a full production build with no cache, taking the best of three runs each.
Vite:
2166 modules transformed.
built in 28.21s
Farm:
[ Farm ] Build completed in 13350ms FULL EXTREME! Resources emitted to ./dist.
[ Farm ] Public directory resources copied successfully.
So that is 28.21s vs. 13.35s, or a 53% decrease in build times. This is certainly neat, but I'm not sure whether it is worth the dependency on a new player.
