@terrydaktyllus1320 Problems arise when you mix and match SSE and non-SSE code in Rust but if you recompile everything I think it should work.

I haven't compiled a kernel recently but does it really take 45 minutes? IIRC that's about how long it took to compile a 2.6 series on a Celeron 466. I figure you're running at least a 2GHz dual core so I would expect it to be much faster.

@afedorov3 I think that CPU is about 15-20 times as fast as the old Celeron I'm using for reference which compiled an older kernel in the same amount of time. So in the past ~15 years of software progress either the kernel is 15 times bigger or the compiler is 15 times slower. Software bloat clearly isn't limited to lazy web and app developers. This comparison is also assuming you have an SSD. If you're compiling on HDD you could be spending a decent amount of time on IO waits and not fully utilizing your CPU. You'd also want at least -j 3 or -j 4 to maximize CPU utilization (RAM permitting) but if you're a Gentoo user I'm sure you know that.
