There's a common misconception that the borrow checker contributes substantially to Rust compilation time. However, this isn't the case; borrow checking is not a substantial part of compilation time.

There's a common misconception that the borrow checker contributes
substantially to Rust compilation time. However, this isn't the case;
borrow checking is not a substantial part of compilation time.
(For reference, some of the larger contributors to Rust compilation time
include Rust relying too much on LLVM to clean up and optimize things rather
than sending less LLVM IR to LLVM in the first place. Monomorphization can also
contribute to this problem.)
