There are a bunch of different metrics for performance that it is a little hard to compare.

Rust will have faster CPU and memory performance. It has no GC (well, other than RC). If you are IO bound, there won't be much of an appreciable difference, assuming you are using Rust's async/await for stuff. If you are using threads directly, then it will be a lot easier to make goroutines faster for IO stuff.

The long compile time of rust has a lot to do with it's LLVM backend, which is ultimately generating pretty fast code. You don't get that with go (well, unless gollvm lands). Go traded execution speed for compile speed by doing their own compiler/optimizer. Generally speaking, that doesn't really matter (hence the reason python is popular).
