    The performance gains are impressive in relative terms, but I don’t think I would ever switch the default linker if the potential gains are like shaving off 5 seconds when linking a 3GB bundle of binaries.

      At work we use lld as opposed ld. With ld, the project I work on links in 60-something seconds, with lld it links in less than 6.

      Mold is faster than lld. It is absolutely worth it
