sporadic recompilation with no obvious reason

[gozzoo]

🐞 Bug report

Command (mark with an x)

- [x] serve

Is this a regression?

No, it has been happening in all previous angular-cli versions.

Description

After I start ng serve it promptly recompiles the project after each change in any of the source files.

What's stange is that re-compilation can be caused by seemingly unrelated events like resizing termial window in VSCode or starting production build in another terminal ng build --prod. Recompilation is oftern triggered by loading the app in the browser. It also happened after I did file search in VSCode.
