There's no built-in way to speed it up that I know off.
Some parts just seem slow.
Some parts may be naive and don't cache anything: so something like a cc-cache could work I guess.
Annoyingly you can't restart a long-running build.

@futurile@mastodon.social @shepherd@fosstodon.org Thanks for the explanation. Apart from the building derivative, the part that takes most time (and is actually annoyingly slow) is starting guix time-machine. All my projects at work are using Guix time-machine and direnv (as explained in the following blog post), and every time I need to switch project, I have to wait for it to "load". Do you happen to know how that can be sped up? https://mehrad.ai/posts/20251106-reproducible-r-enviroment-using-guix/
