Description

README states that installing should take less than a minute and doesn't compile. I'm on a Steam Deck running the install script, which has triggered nix-build and godot is currently taking 15+ minutes to compile (I see several cc1plus threads running). Here's some output from nix with relevant info:

Downloading nixpkgs, this will take a while.
these 4 derivations will be built:
  /nix/store/jp88g1n58jmjbwp5x0522fcmdb003v0w-godot-3.2.drv
  /nix/store/ipfswqry9brjaqwry098mh9b2dswbx35-godot-haskell-3.1.0.0.drv
  /nix/store/i0yd90fgq594k9ignmrx8h12d2vxxa54-godot-haskell-plugin-0.1.0.0.drv
  /nix/store/dy353rx4qk0wfzpiyd484ci3dxqxyh31-Simula.drv

The README should be corrected.

Research direction

Review the README statement about installSimula taking less than a minute and not compiling, then compare it with the install script and the reported nix-build output. Done means the README accurately describes the time and compilation behavior observed during installation.
