jade 7575db522e Remove 100s of CPU time (10%) from build times (1465s -> 1302s) 
I saw that boost/lexical_cast was costing about 100s in CPU time on our
compiles. We can fix this trivially by doing explicit template
instantiation in exactly one place and eliminating all other includes of
it, which is a code improvement anyway by hiding the boost.

Before:

Lix

Lix is an implementation of Nix, a powerful package management system for Linux and other Unix systems that makes package management reliable and reproducible.

Read more about us at https://lix.systems.

Installation

On Linux and macOS the easiest way to install Nix is to run the following shell command (as a user other than root):

$ curl -sSf -L https://install.lix.systems/lix | sh -s -- install

For systems that already have Nix installed, such as NixOS systems, read our install page

Building And Developing

See our Hacking guide in our manual for instruction on how to to set up a development environment and build Lix from source.
