The Rust Performance Book is an open-source guide (built with mdBook) covering techniques for profiling and improving the performance of Rust programs. It is maintained by Nicholas Nethercote and rendered as an HTML book online.
Use cases
- learn how to profile Rust code
- speed up a slow Rust program
- understand Rust compilation and codegen options
- find memory allocation bottlenecks in Rust
- learn benchmarking best practices for Rust
- optimize binary size of a Rust application
When to choose
- you write Rust and want authoritative performance guidance
- you need a structured reference on profiling tools like perf and cargo-flamegraph
- you want to learn how build settings affect Rust performance
When to avoid
- you need performance guidance for languages other than Rust
- you want a hands-on tutorial with exercises rather than a reference book
- you need content about generative-AI-assisted optimization
