I sometimes code on my Surface Go (with a Pentium Silver CPU) and remote in to my home desktop (with a ryzen 3900x). For one of my Rust projects, the Surface Go takes about 25 minutes for a clean build and 2-3 minutes for incremental build. The desktop does a clean build in 2 minutes and an incremental build in 10-20s.

Since it needs to do an incremental build to provide any of the intelligent tools for Rust, it means editing directly on the Surface Go degrades to a text editor experience, while doing the remote editing lets the IDE-like features work.
