Ask HN: Would you pay for 100x faster TypeScript type checker?

As the title says, would the benefit of having a let's say ~100x faster TypeScript type checking be so great that you'd pay for it? If so, how much? I'm currently evaluating whether it's worth to reboot TypeRunner [1] and bring enough value to the people. I'm not interested in open-sourcing it as it's a lot of work for a single person and I did/do already too much OSS.

This is in contrast to existing solutions like SWC, which do not do any type checking, but just transpiling.
