Excessive build times and memory consumption transpiling edgeql-js

I'm using the edgedb-js query builder alongside a nestjs project and ran into some out of memory issues when building or starting the app. I've tracked the issue down to transpiling the generated edgeql-js, during transpilation build times seem to be excessive and memory consumption reaches 4GB+.

I've created a sample project that minimally reproduces the issue.

I could probably pre-build the generated edgeql-js somehow but it's not ideal, and while the issue persists the query builder is pretty much a non-starter for any real projects.
