It could matter in edge cases, perhaps someone runs this on google3 or the linux kernel and it takes 10 seconds versus a minute+ on something like Perl (not sure if that's the case).

I agree. If that's really one of the requirements then Rust or C++ or OCaml or something like that would make a lot of sense.

Also I'd like to add to my original comment above: I don't care at all that this is implemented in Rust. Good on you. Open source software goes where the developers go, and isn't dictated by anything except what the developers want to do.
