Haven’t you ever wanted to find ways to make your Rust code the most optimal in the world? I know how you feel. This is a talk, where I’d tell you how easy it is to profile your Rust software and how most often the solutions are trivial. This is a story of how I used a few readily-available Open Source tools to achieve huge optimizations in [zbus](https://crates.io/crates/zbus), a pure Rust D-Bus library. This was long journey but gains were worth the efforts. I will go through each single bottleneck found, how it was found and why it was a bottleneck and how it was optimized away. While attending this talk will by no means make you an expert in optimizations, it is my hope that by you will be able to relate to some of bottlenecks or solutions I will present (“hey”, I also do that in my code!”) and learn from my experience. Maybe afterwards, you can suggest an even better solution? Moreover, if you don’t already have any experience with profiling and optimizations, this talk should be a good introduction for that.
