The precompilation thing was brought up to the uv team several months ago IIRC. It doesn't make as much of a difference for uv as for pip, because when uv is told to pre-compile it can parallelize that process. This is easily done in Python (the standard library even provides rudimentary support, which Python's own Makefile uses); it just isn't in pip yet (I understand it will be soon).
