 I should note that this observation is not new, it already occurs in [François Garillot's PhD thesis](https://pastel.archives-ouvertes.fr/pastel-00649586), a [paper by the same author](https://hal.inria.fr/inria-00368403v2/document) and even the authors of the "unbundled" paper already note having performance problems when scaling up.

-[^1]: Note that the *number* of indices does not matter, like the fact that `Monoid` has both an `Op` and a `Unit` index. That just affects the constant factor. It's the nesting of indices that gets us here.

 ## Conclusion
 
 We have seen that the number of nested indices of a typeclass has exponential impact on the size of proof terms that arise when deriving typeclass instances for compound types.

-This effect has grinded the original Iris coq development back in 2015 to a halt: compiling the correctness proof of the logic itself took around 3.5 hours and needed more than the 4GB of RAM than my laptop had back then.

 In my view, this basically rules out the unbundled approach for any serious formalization effort.
 But what are the alternatives?
