@@ -95,9 +95,27 @@ compiles twice** — once for the lib, once for the bin. The `i18n!` macro
 must therefore be invoked in both crate roots (`t!()` expands to
 `crate::_rust_i18n_t`, so it must exist in each crate).
 
-With v4 this duplication is cheap (21 calls, not 8,652), so it's no
-longer worth fixing for build performance alone. If you ever restructure
-`main.rs` to `use keydr::...`, build time would roughly halve again.
+Measured with `cargo build --release --timings` on a clean tree, the two
+duplicated units are the slowest in the whole graph:
+
+```
+  33.7s  keydr  (bin)
+  26.0s  keydr  (lib)
+   1.4s  generate_test_profiles (bin)
+  ------
+  61.0s of 292.2s total unit-seconds (21%)
+```
+
+So restructuring `main.rs` to `use keydr::...` would save roughly 26s of
+compile work — real, but nowhere near half the build. Wall-clock saving is
+smaller still, since those units partly overlap with dependency
+compilation across 3 parallel jobs (292s of unit-work compressed into
+~2m15s wall). Worth doing for code hygiene; not a build-performance
+emergency.
+
+Note the remaining ~79% is dependency compilation (`reqwest` 12.7s,
+`clap_builder` 11.4s, `toml_edit` 9.3s, `tokio` 8.0s...), which is
+one-time work that incremental builds skip entirely.
