    docs/buy_in: Document improved dev speed
    
    We all like faster builds due to caching if some output did not change
    and thus not require dependent tasks to be re-run. That stuff saves some
    companies a significant amount of money, so that's a selling point we
    should have.

+Increased Development Speed
+---------------------------
+Dependent packages do not need to be rebuilt and dependent tasks do not
+need to be rerun if a rebuild of a package does not yield different
+results. This can significantly reduce build times and lead to faster
+development speeds and lower cost.
+
+Build speeds can also be improved by showing that cross-compilation
+produces the same result as native compilation and then doing the
+mojority of builds with cross-compilation on faster machines.

 “But how can I trust my compiler?”
