Move fast paths around to gain a bit of new-solver perf by jdonszelmann · Pull Request #158249 · rust-lang/rust

jdonszelmann · 2026-06-22T13:38:31Z

Change in % compared to previous commit on 4 benchmarks. All measured locally on ragdoll (AMD RYZEN 3990X, x86_64). These benchmarks have been quite repeatable in the past, but don't exactly match perf runs. All benchmarks show change in instruction count
First change is compared to baseline

This tests a bunch of changes together. I've done diffs locally suggesting ~5% speedup across these 7 commits. Moving fast path checks to evaluate_goal_raw ~2%, making it return stalled_on another 3% or so and using TyOrConstInferVar ~0.5%

Overall result: ❌✅ regressions and improvements - please read:

Benchmarking means the PR may be perf-sensitive. It's automatically marked not fit for rolling up. Overriding is possible but disadvised: it risks changing compiler perf.

Next, please: If you can, justify the regressions found in this try perf run in writing along with @rustbot label: +perf-regression-triaged. If not, fix the regressions and do another perf run. Neutral or positive results will clear the label automatically.

How to interpret the job duration changes?

Job durations can vary a lot, based on the actual runner instance
that executed the job, system noise, invalidated caches, etc. The table above is provided
mostly for t-infra members, for simpler debugging of potential CI slow-downs.

Overall result: ❌✅ regressions and improvements - please read:

Our benchmarks found a performance regression caused by this PR.
This might be an actual regression, but it can also be just noise.

Next Steps:

If the regression was expected or you think it can be justified,
please write a comment with sufficient written justification, and add
@rustbot label: +perf-regression-triaged to it, to mark the regression as triaged.
If you think that you know of a way to resolve the regression, try to create
a new PR with a fix for the regression.
If you do not understand the regression or you think that it is just noise,
you can ask the @rust-lang/wg-compiler-performance working group for help (members of this group
were already notified of this PR).

(Friendly suggestion for next time: don't put the big table of results in the PR description because it ends up in the merge commit message and looks ugly in git log output :)
