The Scheme compilation felt much slower, and for C++ ccache takes away
a lot of the pain of recompiles. It also appears to be

OK, I have very good news regarding compilation speed.
Tests are done with
rm -rf out/share/lilypond/current/guile/ && time out/bin/lilypond
(I have GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=1 in my environment.)
* master and Guile 2
real 0m58,877s
user 0m58,773s
sys 0m0,124s
Execution time on MSDM.ly:
real 0m18,870s
user 0m18,727s
sys 0m0,470s
* Guile 2, with attached patch disabling all optimizations:
He, I always thought auto-compilation didn't optimize! 😕 now don't
tell me Guile also applies optimizations while just reading and
supposedly interpreting code...
real 0m16,791s
user 0m16,700s
sys 0m0,056s
Execution time on MSDM.ly:
real 0m18,702s
user 0m18,517s
sys 0m0,509s
[ skipping over the part regarding Guile 3, since I don't think it's
relevant here ]
For one thing, Guile's optimization make about zero difference for the
speed of the resulting LilyPond executable. For another, disabling
optimizations in Guile 2 already results in a good speedup (1min
to 20s), [...].

What do you think?
Yes, it looks like we should do this! On the patch, I think it would be
better to apply the strategy from module/scripts/compile.scm and just
get all available-optimizations from the concatenation of tree-il-
default-optimization-options and cps-default-optimization-options
instead of hard-coding the list.
