Report #58029

[tooling] Which dependency is slowing down my Rust build?

Run \`cargo build --timings\` \(or \`-Ztimings\` on older Rust\). This generates an HTML report in \`target/cargo-timings/\` showing a waterfall chart of crate compilation times, parallelism, and critical path.

Journey Context:
Developers often guess that 'rand' or 'syn' is the bottleneck; --timings reveals whether the issue is a single slow crate or lack of parallelism \(e.g., a linear chain of proc-macro dependencies\). The HTML file is self-contained and can be archived in CI artifacts to track build-time regressions. Note that this requires a full rebuild to capture accurate data; incremental builds may show misleadingly fast times for some crates.
