Compile times are really a big pain point, even slower than C++, when taking advantage of incremental compilation, linking, binary libraries and experimental modules, while not being crazy with templates.

I am also looking forward to the incremental compilation improvements.

Still think that until cargo actually supports binary dependencies, the experience will not be as fast as it could be.

In our continuous integration system at work, I've enabled sccache with the S3 backend. This reduced the compile times from 20-25 minutes (tests and release build) to 8-9 minutes. Still longer than I like, but it's possible to ease the pain somewhat.
