Report #69754

[tooling] Rust builds are slow but unknown which crates cause the bottleneck

Use cargo build --timings to generate an HTML report showing per-crate compilation times and critical path analysis. Example: cargo build --release --timings

Journey Context:
Developers often guess at slow dependencies or use generic profilers. Cargo's built-in --timings flag generates a detailed HTML visualization showing when each crate starts/finishes, total time, and the critical path that determines overall build time. This is crucial for AI agents optimizing CI/CD pipelines or suggesting dependency refactors. It requires no external tools and works with both debug and release profiles.
