Just a small nit!!! It's inaccurate to say that webpack only transforms JavaScript (with webpack 4 now). webpack 4 out of the box brings the capability to handle and express any type of module or file in a unique and agnostic way.
This powers our JSON treeshaking, WASM support and also the ability to statically code-split CSS bundles!!! The implementation is what also helped webpack 4 (without full caching and parallelism yet too 😉).
We look forward to seeing these numbers that you mention for build performance however!
