This repo demonstrates that the developer experience of using a Storybook configuraiton for a react library all generated through official @nrwl generators @nrwl/react:library and @nrwl/react:storybook-configuration is extremely slow.

Even with an incredibly simple monorepo set up with a single react component library that has a storybook configuration it takes 1-2 full seconds for HMR to kick in and the UI to update.

In our actual project at work where there are a few more libs and apps the hot reload can take 10-15 seconds which makes it completely unusable

1. Install the dependencies by running yarn
2. Run the storybook for the component library yarn nx storybook components and wait for it to become available
3. Make a change inside components.tsx and observe that it takes a very long time for changes to be reflected in the UI

It feels like there is something going wrong with the setup here because I've seen in many other projects/setups that Storybook hot reloading should feel nearly instantaneous
