Description
Could an option be added to pio run to turn off LDF for a build?
If I know that dependencies haven’t changed, I’d like not to take the time to run LDF by default, and so get a faster edit/compile/flash cycle.
(It doesn’t take too long, true, but when doing hundreds of builds during a coding session it adds up!)
Tnx!

@maxgerhardt confirmed that it doesn't currently seem possible to do this.
