Swift is fast but it’s both easy to accidentally write slow code and there is a not-insignificant amount of overhead to the reference counting and constant dynamic table lookups.

When I say Rust ran circles around it, I mean the difference was not noticeable unless timing, and was the difference of 200ms vs 400ms or a 3 seconds vs 5 seconds , so nothing to write home about necessarily.
