You're overestimating the budget needed for the rig. Would working with a Windows 7 era laptop and Rust suck? Yes. But so would anything else.

I'm on a 4-year-old PC, granted it's 5900X, 3800 MHz RAM and my numbers are derived from it.



Quite far from the typical i5 most folks have access to on shopping malls.


Even i5 will only make it around twice as slow[1]. So from 5min -> 10min.

And that's a relatively pessimistic scenario - huge number of dependencies, slow processor (i5), fresh build. In incremental build, it goes from minutes to seconds.
