Breaking benchmarks... Is that like the time I fiddled with the corresponding C program trying to get it to run at least in the same ballpark as the Rust version? That was until I determined that the Rust optimizer noted that the results of the 'meat' of the test were never used so it just optimized the whole thing away. :) (I thought it was a little disingenuous for the Rust folks to use this as an example of how performant Rust was.)
