    On top of others' specific recommendations, don't forget to profile! Tools like perf on Linux and pprof within Rust will tell you which functions are taking the most time.

    https://github.com/tikv/pprof-rs: Seems to work nicely per se, but I cant seem to find any useful information in the flamegraph for my setting. I see mostly functions in std::thread but cant find the time it costs to render stuff or to do the actual computations which should be the most time consuming things. Not sure whether this is necessarily something wrong with pprof-rs, maybe I'm just bad at finding stuff in the flamegraph svg or bevys ECS is making this hard.

  • Pyroscope Profiler 0.5 released

    The library doesn't actually do any profiling (The profiler for Rust is pprof-rs: https://github.com/tikv/pprof-rs) but it's goal is to manage data returned by profilers (abstracted behind a Backend) and send this data to a Pyroscope Server (or exported to flamegraph, though this is being implemented in the commandline application).
  • Rust support for continuous profiling added in Pyroscope v0.10.2

    The libunwind part is actually not related to overhead, this is just a nuance of the way that pprof-rs unwinds stack traces.
