My point was modules inhibit the parallelism of the compilation process, compile times, not that it has any effect on the link times. Modules do not have any effect on the linker one way or another. They are independent of it.

Some C++ developers can keep using their pre-historic UNIX like tooling, whereas others will embrace the fusion of compiler, linker and build system.
