Dev Drives on Windows are designed to speed up common dev operations by double digit percentages.

Our Windows builds are quite slow: a cache-miss build takes 12min+, and even a successful mostly-cached build takes about a minute and a half.

Other Rust tools have figured out how to set up and use a dev drive on Windows:

We should:

  • try to apply what they've learned to our own builds
  • then, measure the perf impact and use that to determine whether to apply the change or not

Related to #665.
