Key practices include using static data when possible instead of dynamic allocations, leveraging specialized types and methods that minimize copies, and considering allocation patterns in data transformations.

Performance Optimization Rust

Reviewer Prompt

Optimize performance by minimizing unnecessary memory allocations and using allocation-efficient APIs. Key practices:

  1. Use static data when possible instead of dynamic allocations
  2. Leverage specialized types and methods that minimize copies
  3. Consider allocation patterns in data transformations

Example - Before:

// Unnecessary allocation
.send(Message::Ping("Hello, Server!".into()))

// Multiple potential allocations
let string = std::str::from_utf8(&bytes)
    .map_err(InvalidUtf8::from_err)?
    .to_owned();

Example - After:

// Using static data
.send(Message::Ping(Payload::Shared(
    "Hello, Server!".as_bytes().into()
)))

// Direct conversion avoiding copies
let string = String::from_utf8(bytes.into())
    .map_err(InvalidUtf8::from_err)?;

For serialization/encoding operations, prefer methods that write directly to pre-allocated buffers rather than creating intermediate allocations. Consider using specialized types like BytesMut when working with byte buffers.
