Currently the official Getting started of react native is using crna (create-react-native-app) which is bundled with expo. Although I LOVE expo features, I'm trying to run a simple example and the update time on each save takes 16 seconds. 16 seconds update is impossible to work with, so I must be missing something. I made sure I have the latest node.js version, the latest npm version, the latest Expo XDE which I thought will help.... I am running on Windows on a brand new Dell power laptop. I tried using my Android device and also tried using Genymotion. Results are the same - 16 seconds to update the screen on the simplest change. How long does it suppose to take to update and what do I need to configure in order to achieve a reasonable update time?

Enable hot reload. This should speed up the process.
In order to activate it, shake your device to access the menu (real device), or press + in genymotion.
It has some issues, like when you update assets, that force you to do a complete restart with the "Restart" button in the expo xde, still it works most of the time.
