Not as agonizingly slow, but still agonizingly slow.

While I do appreciate build speed improvements, saying that it's better than it was isn't a super high bar in terms of user experience.

I love Rust, I really do, but it's still incredibly slow. I'm excited for any progress it makes on this front.

I think the most promising thing on this front is Cranelift (https://github.com/CraneStation/cranelift). The idea is that, when cranelift is ready, we might use it for debug builds (but still use LLVM for release builds).
