cargo 3ds commands take very very long

[CenTdemeern1]

Something like cargo 3ds check takes 15 seconds while for an equivalent program it takes cargo check a negligible amount of time (0.02s).
During a lot of this time there's no output, so I can't really tell what's going on. The majority of the wait seems to happen before it even tries to start compiling.
Is this an unfortunate consequence of cross-compilation or is there something else going on here? (I'm on an M2 Mac Mini, if that matters)

This is not normal behaviour. cargo-3ds does little more than calling cargo check itself when used that way, so it shouldn't add any more than a negligible wait to the execution of the command. Please share logs of your execution (with --verbose) and offer more context about the project that made you notice this issue.

Here is a recording of my terminal session: https://asciinema.org/a/wCeQ0bgqmPlfUQtEB9OMH4i56
--verbose didn't seem to really show much during the downtime.

I am unable to replicate the issue with the latest cargo-3ds on the ctru-rs project folder. Is your issue present for this repo? Does it occur if you use this command instead?

cargo check --target armv6k-nintendo-3ds -Zbuild-std

There might be a particular compilation slowdown when cargo-checking for the 3ds' target triple, maybe in one of your dependencies.

You can also try cargo 3ds --verbose check, which will display more info about what cargo-3ds itself is doing (as opposed to check --verbose which just passes --verbose down to Cargo).

Yes: https://asciinema.org/a/swDikLK4ZJbi9jf2txsCYnZAH

It seems to hang when running the second command it runs: https://asciinema.org/a/WzJo2rl94EGc8GSodWx0LYQMM

I'm pretty confident I found the problem: #233
