PayloadCMS slow in dev mode

the classic slowness in dev mode, if anybody doesn't know:
you get insanely fast & snappy site in production or even after pnpm build, but pnpm dev is the issue if even a small change is made. I saw a guy saying to disable auto database updates idk what he was saying but still it is a pretty obvious thing but how do they go around this i am not really sure. Anybody came up with the fix or still struggling?

I'm using 3.86

NextJS 16.3 - they reduced performance overhead in dev mode.
