Key improvements include optimized JAR assembly with parallel compression, elimination of redundant JAR builds via the new 'quarkus' packaging, and enhanced bytecode generation. For large applications, these changes reduced build times from 2 minutes to 37 seconds. Additional improvements include SmallRye OpenAPI optimizations, resolution of ClassTooLargeException limits, and better performance when building with Java 25. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
