Of course you can, but you will duplicate all the preprocessing modules(one for gulp and one for grunt) and the build configuration/logic hence adding additional complexity. Yuck.

gulp is faster - in theory - since it does it's processing in-memory rather than doing heavy I/O by writing to temp. files which is what grunt does. The task runner is - most probably - not the cause of your problems.

gulp/grunt are just task runners - the modules themselves and the way they are configured are causing the slowdown, not the task runner that runs them.

You are - most likely

• watching/preprocessing files that you don't need to.
• performing production-readiness tasks far too often.
  • You might have a module that compresses all the images which you run every time a file changes. Put those heavy tasks into a task run that is run just just once before you push into production
  • ES6 -> ES5 transpilation? That's usually heavy. Keep this into a just-before-production task as well

Optimise what you have, especially if it's not your project.
