Why is the Rust compiler so slow?

So there's this guy you may have heard of called Ryan Fleury who makes the RAD debugger for Epic. The whole thing is made with 278k lines of C and is built as a unity build (all the code is included into one file that is compiled as a single translation unit). On a decent windows machine it takes 1.5 seconds to do a clean compile. This seems like a clear case-study that compilation can be incredibly fast and makes me wonder why other languages like Rust and Swift can't just do something similar to achieve similar speeds.

C hardly requires any high effort compile things. No templates, no generics, super simple types, no high level structures.

Are we seeing similar compilation speed when a Rust program doesn't use these types of features?
