Yep, this is about what I would expect. My extreme aversion to having
the frontend cache things comes from years of dealing with the issues it
causes. I'd prefer to use the module build daemon approach for handling
caching for this situation as it gives a single process that can manage the
cache instead of communicating over the filesystem between multiple Clang
instances.
