Jest - Simple tests are slow

I am using Jest to test an angular app and it is taking a really long time for simple tests to run and I can not seem to figure out why.

My Jest setup in package.json:

"jest": {
  "modulePaths": [
    "<rootDir>/src",
    "<rootDir>/node_modules"
  ],
  "testPathIgnorePatterns": [
    ".git/.*",
    "node_modules/.*"
  ],
  "transformIgnorePatterns": [
    "node_modules/.*",
    ".*\\.js"
  ],
  "setupTestFrameworkScriptFile": "<rootDir>/src/setupJest.js",
  "preset": "jest-preset-angular",
  "testEnvironment": "jsdom",
  "testRegex": "src/app/.*\\.spec\\.ts$",
  "moduleFileExtensions": [
    "ts",
    "js",
    "json"
  ],
  "verbose": true,
  "cacheDirectory": ".jest-cache",
  "coveragePathIgnorePatterns": [
    ".*\\.(shim\\.ngstyle|ngfactory)\\.ts"
  ],
  "globals": {
    "ts-jest": {
      "tsConfigFile": "./tsconfig.json"
    },
    "__TRANSFORM_HTML__": true
  }
}

My Jest setup file:

'use strict';
require('core-js/es6/reflect');
require('core-js/es7/reflect');
require('zone.js');
require('zone.js/dist/proxy.js');
require('zone.js/dist/sync-test');
require('zone.js/dist/async-test');
require('zone.js/dist/fake-async-test');
require('jest-zone-patch');

const getTestBed = require('@angular/core/testing').getTestBed;
const BrowserDynamicTestingModule = require('@angular/platform-browser-dynamic/testing').BrowserDynamicTestingModule;
const platformBrowserDynamicTesting = require('@angular/platform-browser-dynamic/testing')  .platformBrowserDynamicTesting;

getTestBed().initTestEnvironment(
    BrowserDynamicTestingModule,
    platformBrowserDynamicTesting()
);

Here is my simple test:

fdescribe('RichTextEditorComponent', () => {
  it('should be fast', () => {
    expect(true).toBeTruthy();
  });
});

Does anyone have any idea as to why this is taking 9+ seconds?
