Performance
This release focuses on applying quick performance tweaks, using tips detailed in https://deterministic.space/high-performance-rust.html
- enabled Link-time optimization
- Used code generation units hint
- used an alternate, performance-focused memory allocator - mimalloc (https://docs.rs/mimalloc/0.1.26/mimalloc/)
And even with these "cheap" performance tricks without really changing the code, we've managed to squeeze non-trivial performance improvements, with some commands like stats
running twice as fast!
