+
+Leveraging this option can result in significant reduction of build time, which is especially useful when using `hmr: true` or `liveReload: true`. Typical build times can be cut by 25-32% or more depending on hardware and webpack configuration. This is also recommended for users with SSD, as it reduces hard disk thrashing.
+
+Windows users without WSL 2.0 are encouraged to install it to make use of this feature, or create a ramdisk manually using a tool like [ImDisk](https://sourceforge.net/projects/imdisk-toolkit/).
