Well there's no production class garbage collector in Rust yet, so in RustPython they're just using Rc's I think. That's one place to start. The other will probably be the quality of the JIT.

It uses refcounting in the common case and then a second cycle-detecting GC for the less common cases

Ah, I forgot the cycle-detector.

Thanks!
