I upgraded my home internet to one 2x as fast as the old service, so that I would spend only half as much time online, but it didn't work. Speed up the build process and the build will just get more complicated and the test suite slower, until it once again slows to the point of being barely tolerable. ISTM that part of Go's early popularity was from its fast builds.
