- 1New report details Rust compiler speed improvements for September 2026●How to speed up the Rust compiler in September 2026
Rust compiler contributor Nicholas Nethercote has published a monthly write-up on improving rustc performance, covering profiling work and optimisation changes made during September 2026. The post details how slow code paths were identified and sped up, continuing a long-running effort to cut compile times that Rust developers routinely flag as one of the language's biggest pain points. Readers are discussing the incremental nature of the gains and the techniques used.
