I wish that people would spend a tenth of the time actually profiling Cargo as they do talking about theoretical performance of dependency resolution.

If only there was some sort of real world project with a ton of dependencies to check if performance of dependency resolution is actually a problem or not.

Is exponential behavior not actually a risk here? Because if it is a risk, experience only tells you that you've not yet fallen over the exponential cliff, not that the cliff isn't out there waiting for you.

My experience running Gentoo is that increasing portage's "backtrack level" over the default is desirable, even though it seems to sometimes considerably lengthen the amount of time that it thinks before deciding how to upgrade packages.

It does seem reasonable to wait to solve this problem in Cargo until it actually arises, though. My guess is that it won't be hard to work around it, such as by updating the program so it can work with newer versions of its dependencies.
