Quick-wins to speed-up build time

[skyf0l]

Hello, here is a list of packages that take a while to build, and thus quick-wins to speed up build time. ou can use this issue to track progress.

Also, it would be interesting to have a kind of benchmark of the size and build time of each layer/package as PR comment, with a comparison with what's on the dev branch, to quickly spot big changes.

• Cloudmapper (cloud) is taking 8m59 to install because building wheel for panda (Python dep) is very slow (6m12) Uv python manager #469
• legba (network) is taking 4m01 to install because building rust crates from sources is very slow, is there a precompiled version?
• jadx (forensic) is taking 2m19 to install, is there a precompiled version?
• RustHound (ad) is taking 1m41 to install because building rust crates from sources is very slow, is there a precompiled version?
• RustHound-CE (ad) is taking 0m57 to install because building rust crates from sources is very slow, is there a precompiled version?

Also, you can try to:

• Replace pip by uv to speed-up pip installs Uv python manager #469
• Force parallel building with make -j if supported (I saw 30 occurrences without -j option) perf: prefer make -j and make clean when possible  #462
• confirm that executed apt-get -y autoremove remove packages installed on the current layer :)

(I based my analysis on this nightly build)
