Unfortunately there's not a lot you can do to speed up Development Mode refresh time, 6-10 seconds isn't a terrible amount of time comparatively (especially vs. not using Dev Mode and doing a full recompile each time).

If you haven't tried code splitting yet, you will almost definitely see a decrease in recompile time, and a decrease in page load time in general once your app is deployed. But beyond that I can't really think of anything that would drastically reduce your Dev Mode refresh time.

+1 for Code splitting. In addition to splitting, one can try reducing the number of RPC calls at startup. This generally goes unnoticed, specially as the project grows. Some amount of code/RPC profiling should help. – Slippery
