How to reduce page generation time (PUG)?

Question

Node.js

Heavy queries from mongodb after optimization take only 5-8ms, during which time they form an object and spit it out from the server. How happy I was)
But after I connected the rendering of the template through pug, the page time increased to 120-150ms, which is 25 times longer =(
Maybe there are some faster solutions? Or generate HTML on the server by making some kind of your template engine?

Answer 1

such a thing appeared a few years ago, but did not take off
famous.org/learn
gryat renders just in years, but, apparently, they were created too early, not everyone has it
easier yet there are templating engines like {{ mustache }} - it
still works for different languages you can generate all the html in advance, and then overlay content from json on the client
