Mine either. Choosing Rust by no means guarantees your tool will be fast—you can of course still screw it up with poor algorithms. But I think most people who choose Rust do so in part because they aspire for their tool to be "blazing fast". Memory safety is a big factor of course, but if you didn't care about performance, you might have gotten that via a GCed (and likely also interpreted or JITed or at least non-LLVM-backend) language.
