I love Rust, but rust being slow annoy me to not end, MUCH more than his complexities.
I have worked in Pascal(Delphi), that is a bit more useful in catch issues at comptime.
Being able to iterate quickly is also a way to fix errors without loose the train of thought!

And answering your question: Slow comptimes are directly proportional to burn more energy (no green, cost more). And it impact the cost of that CI pipelines and all that.
And yes: I have been hit by slow build times with Rust with serious bugs/problems with customers, unable to move fast enough.
One of the worst affect me with a combination of several issues that get slow to note because each one was slow to compile-ship-see effects, enough bad to almost lose a few customers...
So, in my mind, the #1 thing I wish Rust has, more than anything, is speed!
