Caching was a major dissapointment for me. DllPlugin is a nightmare to setup and other caching plugins I tried don't really speed things up. What eventually worked for me is HardSourceWebpackPlugin [1] - two lines added and went from 2min to 15s (with a tradeoff of a slightly longer initial build).
