It looks like the author is most bothered by compile times of dependencies.
Cargo needs to do better with shared caches (so you compile each dep at most once per machine) or ability to get precompiled crates (so you don't even compile it).
Incremental improvements of compiler speed or trimming of individual dependencies won't bring the 10x improvement it needs.
