Rust Compiler Performance Triage

Overall the week is a small improvement on average, with some benchmarks (particularly in the primary category) showing significant improvements due to the enablement of MIR inlining in #91743. Inlining promises to improve the quality of our generated LLVM IR and make other optimizations more worthwhile, so it's great to see these early results already being quite impactful.

Triage done by @simulacrum. Revision range: baf382e6..880646c

3 Regressions, 6 Improvements, 6 Mixed; 4 of them in rollups 46 artifact comparisons made in total

Call for Testing

An important step for RFC implementation is for people to experiment with the implementation and give feedback, especially before stabilization. The following RFCs would benefit from user testing before moving forward:

  • No RFCs issued a call for testing this week.

If you are a feature implementer and would like your RFC to appear on the above list, add the new call-for-testing label to your RFC along with a comment providing testing instructions and/or guidance on which aspect(s) of the feature need testing.

Approved RFCs
