How does the performance impact of dynamic imports differ between development and production environments?
Development builds show more overhead with dynamic imports compared to production: 1) Development builds typically include source maps and unminified code, making chunks larger, 2) Production builds benefit from minification, compression, and optimized chunk generation, 3) Development servers may not implement the same caching strategies as production environments, 4) Development tools may add additional instrumentation to dynamic imports for debugging, 5) HTTP/2 and CDN optimizations in production can significantly improve dynamic import performance, 6) Browser caching behaves differently between development and production due to cache headers, 7) Performance monitoring should focus on production-like environments for accurate assessment, 8) This difference highlights the importance of testing in environments that match production.
