Does NX make ng serve faster

I am new to NX...

NX is supposed to wrap the Angular CLI and make it faster with computation caching.

This works nicely with nx build... Builds are done almost instantly once they have been cached.

But I wonder if also nx serve uses computation caching. I do not find much info about it.

In my own "performance tests" the serve command did not become faster with NX.

Why would NX not use computation caching for the serve command?

according to the creator, Victor. It is not possible

By default, serve doesn't create files on disk, so nothing to be cached. This is just how webpack works. But if you, use the file-server executor (https://nx.dev/latest/node/web/file-server) serve gets cached defacto.

You can use file-server executor to improve this.
