I enjoy both languages quite a bit, but a 4x improvement is more of a testament to python than it is to rust imo!

How do you mean? Would you expect it to be much slower?

Yeah, IME Python can be about 100x slower than a native solution. The original solution was a combination of a C library and Python wrapper code, so 4x makes sense for eliminating the Python part.
