Using @apply with Tailwind 2 + Sage 9 takes over 20s to compile scss file

Sage "9.1": Please test

For tailwind the devs apparently were able to solve the long build time by using a modified library (https://www.npmjs.com/package/@tailwindcss/jit). Node-sass has been deprecated in favor of Dart sass, which is now the reference implementation. However, uncompiled, JavaScript Dart sass seems to be slower than a compiled binary (from what I read). So maybe this is the underlying reason?
