Report #83005

[tooling] Rust compile times are slow but unsure which crate or dependency is the bottleneck

Run \`cargo build --timings\` \(or \`--timings=html\`\) and open \`target/cargo-timings/cargo-timing.html\` to visualize crate compilation overlap and identify the critical path.

Journey Context:
Blindly adding optimization flags or switching to the mold linker without data is guesswork. The \`--timings\` flag generates an HTML report showing each crate's start/end time and duration, revealing if slow compiles are due to a single large crate \(syn, proc-macro heavy\) or sequential dependency chains. This directs whether to break crates apart, enable pipelining, or optimize specific dependencies.
