I recently switched my package builds over to bob, and I have to say it 
works really well — thanks for such a great tool. I haven't run any 
precise benchmarks, but subjectively it feels noticeably faster than pbulk.

The only issue I've run into so far is that, for some reason, the 
sandbox isn't always cleaned up after building Rust applications. After 
the build finishes, I get the following warning:

Destroying 4 sandboxes...
sandbox 1: Cannot remove sandbox: non-directory exists at 
/mnt/bob/chroot/1/root/.cargo/.package-cache
Warning: failed to destroy 1 sandbox
