It'll get quicker with some of the cleanups I want to do, but release builds
with rust will be a lot slower due to the fact they can perform more aggressive
optimisation because of the stronger type rules AND they can also do stuff like
LTO where we don't in 389 atm.

Sure, we'll need to test that at some point to be sure. I know it already works
in SUSE :)

For sure!
Also worth noting that don't have to be the one to do all the "william" items,
if other people want to step up they can. I need to tidy up this syncrepl stuff
and finish up openldap migration stuff, but I think the rust tools will be a
valuable part of that openldap migration so I will do it sooner than later :)
