Suggestion
We have migrated our main project to use project references. It simplifies the development workflow, but brings basically 0 noticeable performance improvement (for both local development and CI). There's even an illusion that now we get worse performance during development.
I guess the main reason behind this is lacking support for multi-thread compilation.
Use Cases
Improve compilation performance.

Checklist
My suggestion meets these guidelines:
- This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
- This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
- This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
- This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, etc.)
- This feature would agree with the rest of TypeScript's Design Goals.
