Having repeatedly benchmarked my own rust builds I've found that the majority of time is spent linking. There are promising projects to improve that by an order of magnitude. > I think the long compilation times will continue to get worse No, it's more likely they'll get better - that has been the trend, and as I mentioned there are projects in the works that can likely cut the compile times in half.
