(Doing some perf runs to see if I'm on the right track with this RawBitSet stuff.)

If you’re working on bitsets, it could be cool to take a look at #141325 and bring that to completion. It was a nice win and the author doesn’t have the time to rebase, and finish it.

Overall result: ❌✅ regressions and improvements - please read the text below

Benchmarking this pull request means it may be perf-sensitive – we'll automatically label it not fit for rolling up. You can override this, but we strongly advise not to, due to possible changes in compiler perf.

Next Steps: If you can justify the regressions found in this try perf run, please do so in sufficient writing along with @rustbot label: +perf-regression-triaged. If not, please fix the regressions and do another perf run. If its results are neutral or positive, the label will be automatically removed.

If you’re working on bitsets, it could be cool to take a look at #141325 and bring that to completion. It was a nice win and the author doesn’t have the time to rebase, and finish it.

One of my ambitions is to eventually allow a large subset of bitsets to allocate their word storage in a dropless arena (either a local arena or the one in TyCtxt), which could potentially cut down on a lot of allocation bookkeeping.

Zalathar · 2026-03-09T07:31:29Z

Let's make sure a simpler RawBitSet is perf-neutral, before trying to make ambitious changes.

Hmm, it's frustrating that the monomorphic RawBitSet isn't perf-neutral, even with #[inline] sprinkled everywhere.

Will #[inline(always)] do the trick?

Hmm, so extracting insert and remove causes a bunch of small regressions, even though the extracted functions are marked #[inline].

Trying a tweaked version of insert/remove that tries even harder to not harm performance.
