When I use <Link> to navigate between routes, there’s a delay of about 2-3 seconds before the new route starts loading, even if the page has minimal code. How can I ensure the loading page displays immediately without waiting for 2-3 seconds of inactivity? I’m using the app router.

During local development it's expected, but should be much better in production.

Are you observing this behavior during local development or even in production?

I have tried it in now in the production and it seems like this problem is only in the development builds as you said because it's indeed much better in the production build
Thanks
