For smaller C++ projects this tends to be way faster than the conventional wisdom of having many CUs, mostly because all the library bloat will only be parsed and instantiated once.

Also reduces link time.

I find that projects up to around 50K lines compiles instantly as a single file/"unity build" and is my preferred way for most of my projects.

It's important to stress that it does more than reduce link time: unity builds completely eliminate linking when plugging together submodules, and the final project linking simply has far fewer object files to link.

This really should be solved at the compiler level, rather than forcing people to restructure their projects.
