Advantages: * blocks while a rebuild is in progress so you're less likely to reload the old version * serves from memory rather than disk, so we no longer need to turn off the cachebuster to avoid filling the disk with bundles. Empirically, seems to last a plausible amount of time without OOMing; there's no real reason to believe it would use any more memory than webpack itself. * That in turn means we no longer need the hack to stop chrome caching old sourcemaps (because the sourcemap now has a cachebuster in its name). * one fewer process for parallelshell to (fail to) manage. * in future, we could consider the fancy hot-reload functionality.

serves from memory rather than disk, so we no longer need to turn off the cachebuster to avoid filling the disk with bundles. Empirically, seems to last a plausible amount of time without OOMing; there's no real reason to believe it would use any more memory than webpack itself.

one fewer process for parallelshell to (fail to) manage.
in future, we could consider the fancy hot-reload functionality.
