Slow build times are a problem for C++, but there are bigger ones yet. Like the reliance on textual inclusion and the preprocessor instead of an actual module system. It has massive second and third order effects on tooling, code sharing, and community building.
Incidentally, a module system will help with build times, but that's only one of the benefits.
