I’ve noticed this on Ubuntu (node v0.10.25). TypeScript 1.6 used to always detect changes within a second. 1.7 and 1.8 take about 2 seconds for a one-file project, and anywhere between 2-10 seconds for a large project.
It seems this only affects older versions of node. If I use node 4.0.0 or later, it’s down to less than a second again.
