## Rust Compiler Performance Triage
92+
93+
* [2020-09-28](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-perf/blob/master/triage/2020-09-28.md):
94+
0 Regressions, 1 Improvements, 3 Mixed
95+
96+
97+
Most significant changes this week came in response to regressions discussed in
98+
last week's triage report. Curious readers may be interested in
99+
[#77058](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/77058), in which the removal
100+
of a single field from a struct caused a 25% decrease in wall-times for one
101+
seemingly unrelated benchmark, or
102+
[#76986](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/76986), an ABI change that
103+
should be a pretty clear win but seems to have mixed results.
104+
105+
See the [full report](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-perf/blob/master/triage/2020-09-28.md) for more.
106+
107+
## Approved RFCs

Changes to Rust follow the Rust [RFC (request for comments) process](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs#rust-rfcs). These
110+
are the RFCs that were approved for implementation this week:

# Quote of the Week
170+
171+
> Rust has a curse (it has many, but this one is critical): inefficient code is generally visible. Experienced developers hate to notice that their code is inefficient. They will recoil at seeing `Arc<RefCell<T>>` , but won't bat an eye at using Python.
