Description
### Is this a duplicate?
- [x] I confirmed there appear to be no [duplicate issues](https://github.com/NVIDIA/cccl/issues) for this bug and that I agree to the [Code of Conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md)
### Type of Bug
Silent Failure
### Component
Thrust
### Describe the bug
Regression: https://github.com/NVIDIA/cccl/issues/2933
cuda/ptx used to take 12ms to compile. Now it takes 4 seconds. It seems most time is spent in preprocessing. We should consider ways to speed up preprocessing.
Perfetto trace:
### How to Reproduce
```
$ time nvcc -x cu -c <(echo '#include ')
real 0m4.186s
user 0m0.808s
sys 0m0.190s
```
perfetto:
```
$ echo '#include ' > cuda_ptx.cu
$ nvcc -fdevice-time-trace cuda_ptx -c cuda_ptx.cu
```
### Expected behavior
It should take way less time to compile.
