With Ubuntu changing to the Rust implementation of coreutils, what does that mean for performance?

    The performance you’re dealing with here is in the tens of milliseconds possibly hundreds if you’re lucky. Anyone seriously pursuing this issue from the angle of performance genuinely doesn’t understand the deep rooted issues here.

    If you’re so incredibly hard up for compute time that it’s critical for you to squeeze out the extra 1/10 of a second from your system utilities then you need to shut your fucking computer down and go touch grass.

      this was me watching some of the cheering when neofetch got archived, people complaining “good, neofetch is too slow” – WTF were you doing with neofetch where speed was a factor?!

      I’d take those tens of milliseconds. That shit scales and I’ve seen infra in the scale of millions more-or-less glued together by shell scripts and coreutils/busybox.
