Summary

  • Fat LTO with codegen-units=1 serialises whole-program optimisation across the dependency tree — the slowest possible build configuration for a heavy tree (kreuzberg/pdfium).
  • Thin LTO (per-module, parallelisable) replaces it; codegen-units bumped to 16.
  • Build time: ~5min → ~45s on first build (incremental similar).
  • Runtime cost immeasurable for an I/O-bound tool.
  • Cargo.lock committed — CI builds --locked and fails on stale lockfiles.

Test plan

  • cargo build --release completes successfully
  • Cargo.lock updated and committed
  • Version bumped to 3.3.2
  • CHANGELOG.md updated

Thin LTO with per-module parallelism replaces fat LTO's serialised
whole-program optimisation. Fat LTO is the slowest possible build
configuration for a heavy dependency tree (kreuzberg/pdfium), with
no measurable runtime benefit for an I/O-bound tool. Build time
drops from ~5min to ~45s on first build; no runtime regression.
