The author was gently panned when this was originally posted on Reddit, and they added that note, but now that the article is being reposted uncritically where people may not know the difference, it's worth pointing out again. The way the author got a profile out of Miri is creative, but Miri was never a helpful guide for profiling, it seems that the second benchmark they used for confirmation was also unoptimised (run without --release which is a rookie mistake). Then they got wrong conclusions from flawed observations about the costs of abstractions like range.contains.
