## Rust Compiler Performance Triage
|
||
|
||
* [2020-11-24](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-perf/blob/master/triage/2020-11-24.md):
|
||
1 Regression, 2 Improvements, 2 mixed
|
||
|
||
This week saw landing of [#79237](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/79237) which by itself provides no wins but opens the door to support for split debuginfo on macOS. This'll eventually show huge wins as we can likely avoid re-collecting debuginfo while retaining support for lldb and Rust backtraces. [#79361](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/79361) tracks the stabilization of the rustc flag, but the precise rollout to stable users is not yet 100% clear.
|
||
|
||
Triage done by @jyn514 and @simulacrum.
|
||
|
||
4 regressions, 4 improvements, 2 mixed results.
|
||
5 of them in rollups.
|
||
|
||
