How I cut down my local build time to half.
Hi,
I used to work in Microsoft Teams and the build time over there used to take about 25 minutes. It was big sync for developers' productivity.
I tried various optimizations in my local build by tuning various parameters in the package.json and changing the task runner from npm to yarn.
The most speed up I got was compiling my code on a powerful cloud instance. It cut the compile time of my code to half.

It will help you reduce the compile time.
You say you sped up the build time by using a powerful cloud instance. What I would like to know is what were the specs of your local machine and the cloud instance as well as the time difference between the two.
