Description

The files required in components.js will rarely change during normal content development workflows. I think we should be able to bundle them on their own, and mark them as external in the main bundle, and get much faster bundle times.

Research direction
This issue proposes splitting components.js into a separate bundle to improve compile times. The current bundling setup should be examined (likely webpack or similar). A contributor could investigate how components.js is imported and whether it can be externalized. No prior discussion or PRs exist, so a fresh approach is needed.
