How can I optimize the performance of my Rust application?

There are several strategies you can use to optimize performance in Rust, such as using efficient data structures, minimizing allocations, and leveraging concurrency. What specific areas are you looking to improve?

I'm mainly concerned about memory usage and speed.

For memory usage, consider using stack allocation where possible and avoid unnecessary heap allocations. For speed, you can use Rust's built-in profiling tools to identify bottlenecks. Have you tried using the cargo bench command?

Not yet, how does that work?

cargo bench allows you to run benchmarks on your code. You can define benchmark functions in your tests and measure their performance. Would you like a quick example of how to set that up?

Yes, please! That would be helpful.
