Considering that C++ templates can run arbitrarty computation during code template instantiation (making the "slower" factor potentially unlimited), I think constant time 18‰ slower compilation is pretty acceptable. My build times went from 7 secs to 8-9 secs. Also considering that the Go compiler has a history of getting better and faster (and harder and stronger :-) with each version, I am personally quite satisfied with Go1.18.
