I noticed that the vendors and main js file took quite a while to load in the dev setup (TTFB was almost 2 seconds). I traced this down to the compression. Since the source files are quite big (e.g., > 30 MB) due to source maps, the compression penalty is quite high and not worth it the size reduction.
Without the compression the TTFB goes down to ~60ms and the content download time is ~280ms.
