FAQ mention of incremental compilation is out of date #1183

Open mattheww opened 6 years ago

mattheww commented 6 years ago

The Rust compilation seems slow. Why is that? FAQ entry says

There is a major effort underway to refactor the compiler to introduce incremental compilation

As I understand it, that's out of date: incremental compilation is now enabled by default. Perhaps the entry should mention plans to improve incremental compilation performance instead.

Compilation times have improved greatly since that was written, but also are still relatively slow. Should we delete the section entirely? Or is there any further work into compilation times going on that I don't know about?
