`lld` is incredibly fast and allows medium crates to compile in under a few seconds for me. For people who don't know, if you're on linux put this in the `~/.cargo/config` file, and install the LLVM linker on your system.
```
[target.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu]
rustflags = [ "-C", "link-arg=-fuse-ld=lld" ]
```
`-Clinker=clang` also works. I think you need a recent `gcc` (8 or newer) for `-fuse-ld=lld`. For `linker=clang` you probably need `clang` installed.
