Report #61463

[tooling] Slow Rust compile times without visibility into which crates dominate build time or block parallelization

Run cargo build --timings to generate an HTML report showing per-crate compilation times, dependency chains, and CPU utilization, identifying serial bottlenecks

Journey Context:
Rust developers often guess at slow compile times or use generic system profilers. cargo --timings produces a self-contained HTML file with a Gantt chart of the compilation pipeline, showing exactly which crates dominate wall-clock time and whether CPU cores are underutilized due to dependency chains. Unlike cargo build -vv, this visualizes the compiler's internal parallelization. It is essential for optimizing workspace structure, identifying slow procedural macros, or deciding which dependencies to prune or feature-gate.
