I wish compiling the Rust compiler itself was faster. It literally takes days to compile on my old laptop.

It is! The article is about the performance of the compiler, not the machine code it generates.

I think I spent 3-4 days compiling rust, almost forgot I started it at the time.

Wait, what language were you compiling it on?

Rust has been bootstrapped for a long time now.
