> it takes over 15 minutes to rebuild trivial changes on a top-shelf CPU
I have no idea how this could possibly be this bad given that I worked full time with Rust from 2015 to 2023 on a $600 Clevo laptop from 2012 and was used to incremental builds in the low double digit seconds for projects ranging between 100k and 600k loc. (From scratch release builds where excruciatingly slow, but these only happened once every rust updates).
You only clean the build directory once every Rust update? Unless you use nightly, I don't see how that's feasible. Having a 1TB (and pretty free) disk, I still need to clean regularly (not that commonly, but more than once a release).
