 - ❌ Worse runtime performance of the generated code
   - Speeds up build part of `cargo test`, but might increase its test execution part
 - ❌ Only available for [certain targets](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc_codegen_cranelift?tab=readme-ov-file#platform-support)

+### Enable the experimental parallel frontend
+
+Recommendation: Add to your `.cargo/config.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[build]
+rustflags = "-Zthreads=8"
+```
+
+This [`rustflags`][build.rustflags] will enable the [parallel frontend][parallel-frontend-blog] of the Rust compiler, and tell it to use `n` threads. The value of `n` should be chosen according to the number of cores available on your system, although there are diminishing returns. We recommend using at most `8` threads.
