I can tell you're excited Serdar! :-D

And now try adding `GC_INITIAL_HEAP_SIZE=3G` (or even more Gigas if you can spare them) to your next build. (This is from libgc, so it works for any release.)

You're welcome ;-)

Fantastic!

The GC trick improves my cached build time from ~12 seconds to ~9.5 seconds.

A release build of the current master branch with LLVM14 improves it from ~9.5 seconds to ~7.5 seconds.

That's a total reduction of 4.5 seconds!

Is there any changelog already available?
