Perfectly valid to include it because that is what you will experience when using it.

Except that startup cost is a one-time hit (of course), and 99% of the time performance sensitive code will be running in a longer lived context.

In a longer live context(more data crunching) Rust will win by even a greater margin, as performance improvements will compound. I know from benchmarking various Rust vs Go vs Node.js scenarios, and as the volume of data increases Node.js's performance gets worse.
