Issue description

npx live-server . is running really slow, as if all content is on a really slow 3G network. npx serve . is working fine without issues. But this just started happening to me in the past few days, and live-server has not been updated for a while (about a year), so maybe something else changed in my system that is affecting live-server but not serve.

Software details

• Command line used for launching live-server: `live-server . --open examples/
• OS: macOS Ventura 13.4 (22F66)
• Browser (if browser related): Chredge 116.0.1938.76
• Node.js version: v18.13.0
• live-server version: 1.2.2

I tried five-server, a drop-in alternative for live-server, and it is not having the issues. Might be worth perusing what the diff is.
