I think Jevon's paradox is also hitting to some extent, coupled with the ecosystem getting bigger, so a typical project may have more transitive dependencies behind it. The functionality is going up, and the speed of compilation is going up, but the total latency is staying similar or increasing, in my experience.

that's definitely possible. I'm somewhat hopeful that some changes in 1.9 will let us cut back on transitive dependencies a lot, but it will take a few months to know for sure.
