If everyone on the team is easily distracted then why would you focus on speeding up slow tooling instead of focusing on making your team resilient to distractions?

Ah, yes, just change human nature. That sounds much easier than speeding up a program.
You can train yourself to focus better and to resist distraction, although it definitely is hard to do. The benefit is that it works for everything, from running a script to ignoring Slack to being able to work in an open office. Improving how long how code takes to run only fixes that specific distraction.
