I've been using it as a CLANG build method and it's very fast when combined with mold using -fuse-ld=mold. Only problems I've come across so far is that

1) linking stdc++ and math library must be done manually (think that's mold and I probably haven't set it up correctly)
2) if I have a compiler error it doesn't show up in the error window at all so there's no way of telling the program failed to build

Otherwise it can build and rebuild significantly faster than Clang and GCC. I'm getting build times around 4-6.5 times faster.
