Build times: ~22% faster Burst+IL2CPP workflows (reported) in 6.3
Waiting on builds is the silent productivity tax that makes performance work “too expensive.”
Unity 6.3 reports improved player build times when Burst and IL2CPP are both involved (~22% reduction in some workflows).
Quick win: time 3 builds before and 3 after (same machine, same options), average the result.
Business translation: faster iteration = more fixes per sprint and fewer last-minute regressions before launch.
