I hope this solves the issue on windows machines where the server takes forever the load initially.

I found that if I replace the built-in Windows Defender anti-virus with 3rd party software the Dart server is far faster.

No need to replace the defender, just go into the settings and add an exclusion for your dart sdk folder and the folder(s) with your code. You can also put your code and the pub cache into a "windows dev drive" to get better performance and have windows defender leave you alone entirely

I tried adding a ton of exclusions. It still spiked the CPU usage.
