Typically parallelism is particularly interesting for performance, and the (usually?) shared-nothing architecture of the actor model is not conducive to high performance computing.

Shared-nothing usually means a lot of unnecessary copying-- but rust lets you have safe transfers of data ownership, usually without copying. I wonder if that would make for a uniquely performant actor framework. (Depends on the implementation and user code, of course.)
