Is this a regression?

Yes, the previous version in which this bug was not present was: 9.1.12

Description

If the Angular project satisfies the following conditions, the memory usage of ng serve is excessive

• it uses i18n with @angular/localize
• it is configure to target ES5
• it loads large object from external library.

The issue doesn't happen if I changed the target to ES2015 or disabled i18n.
ng build and ng serve --no-source-map is also not affected.

🔬 Minimal Reproduction

1. ng add @angular/localize
2. create a translation file and add configuration to angular.json.
3. set target in tsconfig.base.json to "es5" and enable IE11 in browserlist.
4. add external npm library which contains large object and use it from a component.
   • I can reproduce with encoding-japanese and text-encoding.
5. run ng serve and it consumes a lot of memory.

I reproduced it in Github Actions: https://github.com/nomeaning777/ng-serve-memory-issue-reproduction/runs/922735595 . This occurs regardless of the Node version or OS version.

[madebyakash456]

I was able to reproduce this issue with node 10.16.0. Although, after updating the node version to 12.18.3(LTS), it works fine.
But the issue is inconsistent. I could reproduce this in one of my projects, whereas the other ones are working fine.

[ly-cultureiq]

I'm also able to reproduce on node 14.9 and angular 10.0.16

[zhuweid]

I am experiencing the same issue here

target: es2015
angular: 10.0.0
@angular-devkit/build-angular: 0.1000.4
and with i18n

however, in my case, the target does not matter, but if I turn off the AOT, the issue goes away

[witeck]

Is there anything known about this thread? I have the same problem in angular 10.2.0

[isinbahadir]

I have the same problem (ng serve, localize:"X", es5 ) in angular 11.0.2...
if i set localize: false or change the target to es6 problem disappears...

[xavadu]

The same with Angular 10.2.1 and Node v10.23.0 following the Documentation with this config, doing ng serve --configuration=en,es5 doesn't work

"es5": {
  "localize": [
     "en"
  ],
  "tsConfig": "./tsconfig-es5.app.json"
}
