The tsc memory usage problem

[ShookLyngs]

I have an existing vite project with @ricons/material and @ricons/antd as devDependencies, and when I ran tsc --diagnostics command , here's the result:

Files:             12372
Lines:            218414
Identifiers:      345716
Symbols:          198770
Types:             16247
Instantiations:    79425
Memory used:    2166158K
I/O read:          0.55s
I/O write:         0.00s
Parse time:        3.74s
Bind time:         1.08s
Check time:        1.10s
Emit time:         0.00s
Total time:        5.91s

Then I added the @ricons/fluent to devDependencies, imported an icon from the library, and then re-ran the command again, here's the result:

Files:             22443
Lines:            268767

I/O write:         0.00s

Emit time:         0.00s
Total time:       18.25s

We can see that with the new icon package added to the devDependencies, the tsc program had to use much more memory than before. How can we resolve it?

@07akioni After changing all import { A } from '@ricons/xx' to import A from '@ricons/xx/A', the tsc memory used is now normal, but how can I shrink the process and make it simpler? Do you think you can provide a vite plugin to do the job?
