It looks like the worst offenders (vs C) are regex-dna (which is a young regex + unicode vs pcre + ascii) and fasta (where the rust version is still single-core). The others are at 1-2x cpu and on par for memory. I suspect most of them could be on par or better with a little effort - only regex looks hard.

I'm working on improving the regex engine now. Hopefully I can submit some improvements soon. :-) It will be hard to get near the top, but I think there's some low hanging fruit I can tackle first.
