Cold-build cost of //src/ObjectUtils, before and after deleting LLVM. Measured with the disk cache disabled so the action graph is genuinely cold, and the repository cache shared so this measures compiling rather than downloading: bazel build --disk_cache= //src/ObjectUtils:ObjectUtils wall critical actions with LLVM (c7c4e6566) 158.7s 68.3s 3324 without LLVM 104.6s 48.3s 2531 delta -34% -29% -793 The two LLVM patches went with it, so bazel/patches/ is down from three to one, and MODULE.bazel loses a bazel_dep and an archive_override.
