`unit-test` builder with `vitest` is slow for testing and for code coverage

Inizia riproducendo i tempi riportati con i comandi ng test --no-watch e di coverage in un piccolo progetto Angular CLI che utilizzi il builder unit-test e Vitest, quindi confrontali con Karma. Leggi gli entry point del builder unit-test e dello schematic jasmine-to-vitest coinvolti nella migrazione. Il lavoro è completato quando viene identificata la causa del rallentamento e vengono dimostrati tempi migliori per i test e la coverage.

Description

I migrated a very small existing project using the jasmine-to-vitest schematic and code coverage is fairly slow when using vitest (roughly 80 tests).

With the karma builder:

ng test --no-watch                               9,99s user 1,71s system 214% cpu 5,459 total
ng test --no-watch --code-coverage  17,82s user 2,42s system 232% cpu 8,719 total

When migrates to the unit-test builder (and a few tests disabled):

ng test --no-watch                     18,49s user 3,33s system 259% cpu 8,396 total
ng test --no-watch --coverage  38,46s user 4,66s system 210% cpu 20,535 total

The tests themselves takes 18s (10s with Karma), and the code coverage takes 20s instead of 8s. This is very noticeable when using vitest.

Minimal Reproduction

This is probably reproducible in a new CLI project, by generating a bunch of components and comparing test times.

Anything else relevant?

Of course this is maybe an upstream problem, but I thought it was worth mentioning it.
