In a real world benchmark, the default musl allocator caused a 7x slowdown compared to other allocators. I recommend all Rust projects immediately swap to a different allocator in a musl environment.
quick_cache - Rust
Lightweight, high performance concurrent cache. It allows very fast access to the cached items with little overhead compared to a plain concurrent hash table. No allocations are ever performed unless the cache internal state table needs growing (which will eventually stabilize).

How Our Rust-to-Zig Rewrite is Going
For the past year and a half, the team building Roc's compiler has been rewriting our 300,000 lines of Rust code into Zig, for reasons I'll recap below. We recently passed an exciting milestone: feature parity with the original compiler!
