is rumored to have said:

If you find yourself during an port update building rust from source, either just let it finish, or if you don't want your machine tied up building rust for some period, just cancel the build and try again later on, as as others have pointed out eventually the buildbots will provide the binary tarball for it and thus you will just pick that once its available.

This raises a question that I cannot find a clear answer to:

How are builds prioritized on the buildbots?

I would hope that in an ideal world, some priority is given to large, slow, and heavily-depended-upon builds. It's also easier to say that than to actually implement it, but it would help address a real pain point in using MacPorts.
