Description
When running a Rust demo for the first time, a lot of dependencies will get downloaded and compiled. It takes a while.
The second run is very fast because dependencies are shared between projects so this is only a problem on the first Rust "Run" but it might discourage users.
We should consider using sccache or ship prebuilt in Workbench or tell the user about what's going on.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.

- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by reproducing the first run of a Rust demo in Workbench and compare it with the second run. The issue names no files or tests; investigate whether sccache, prebuilt dependencies, or user-facing information best addresses the download and compilation delay, then define a measurable improvement for the first run.
