JIHPSTER with nest js takes too long time to re compile after any change i make to any backend file

[Othman2001]

i am working on large project with nest js and used jdl and jhipster to generate code, but sometime we need customization and in order to make any custom code in any controller or any service it takes maybe 10 to 15 min in order re compile the project again and nodemon starts again. so anyway to fix that issue maybe in webpack config ?

@Othman2001 Please paste output of jhipster info in your project folder as explained in issue guidelines because for now we have absolutely no idea about your project configuration and dev environment.
