To reduce speed compilation you can disable all default features (I'll probably disable all feature by default in future) and, to reduce the binary size, change some `profile.release` config.
Tests for the example I shared yesterday:
Default features and default release profile:
* compilation time: 43 secs
* cdylib size: 479kb
* staticlib size: 58Mb
Without default features but with default release profile:
* compilation time: 31 secs
* cdylib size: 479kb
* staticlib size: 49Mb
Without default features and with LTO enabled, codegen-units set to 1 and abort on panic (but still optimized for performance instead of size):
* compilation time: 35 secs
* cdylib size: 437kb
* staticlib size: 12Mb
Same as above but optimized for size (not aggressive):
* compilation time: 30 secs
* cdylib size: 427kb
* staticlib size: 9.5Mb
I not plan to write a sync version of the SDK, also if very very basic. But I can try to reduce the above values as much as possible.
