Why is res.render in Angular Universal taking so long?

I am building a Angular Universal App and all i have now is the Structure of the site. I did everything like in the tutorial concerning transforming my app for Angular Universal.

console.log("got Request " + new Date());
res.render(join(DIST_FOLDER, 'browser', 'index.html'), { req , time: true}, 
   function(err, html) {
      console.log("finished Rendering " + new Date());
      res.send(html);
   }   
);

The Rendering takes up 3 and a half seconds.. This seems like a huge amount of time to me. Also in the DeveloperTools in Chrome TTFB is 3,5 seconds. And the app doesnt do anything yet except routing. I dont want my future app to be so slow.

Anyone has a clue if this is normal or there is something to improve ? Github repo with Problem https://github.com/Joniras/slow-universal-rendering-example

There is a 3000 ms timeout in your code (UserService)

setTimeout(() => {
          resolve(this.loggedInUser);
        }, 3000);
