As suggested by @epage[1].
Ad hoc timings on my i7-12900K:
before cargo build: 4.91s
before cargo build release: 8.05s
after cargo build: 4.69s
after cargo build release: 7.83s
... pretty underwhelming if you ask me. Ah well. And on my M2 mac mini:
before cargo build: 6.18s
before cargo build release: 14.50s
after cargo build: 5.52s
after cargo build release: 13.44s
Still kind of underwhelming, but definitely better. It shaves a full
second off of compile times in release mode. I went back to my
i7-12900K, but passed `-j1` to `cargo build` to force single threaded
mode:
before cargo build: 19.44s
before cargo build release: 50.64s
after cargo build: 16.76s
after cargo build release: 48.00s
Which seems pretty consistent with the modest improvements above.
Looking at `cargo build --timings`, the beefiest chunk of time is spent
in compiling `regex-automata`, by far. This is fine because it's core
functionality. I wish a fast general purpose regex engine with its
internals exposed as a separately versioned library didn't require so
much code... Blech.
