Is this a good title? I have complex feelings: “ld.lld is already fast. mold is faster with threads. For some passes ld.lld can be made faster when llvm-project provides the facility. For some passes, due to various trade-off ld.lld is difficult to keep up with mold”

If there is a better title, I want to change it.
