What's the problem this PR addresses?
Given enough time the Babel cache will grow enough to slow down running Yarn in this repo by quite a lot. In my case the cache has been growing since 19.02.2021 and is now at 422MB taking ~6 seconds to save.
How did you fix it?
@babel/register
for babel-register: Don’t rewrite the cache if it’s not dirty babel/babel#12813 so the cache is only written when it changes saving an additional ~400msResult
