No performance improvement #49

Hi all! :) I was trying to use this, but I didn't see any improvement in build time. Neither with a clean build nor an incremental one.

Do you have any clue why? Usual build time is ~70s while incremental build time is ~8s.

michaeleisel commented 4 years ago

The improvement mentioned is specifically for the linking time, which is just one component of either of those cases
