Somewhat related: Rust programs generally tend to have a better
performance than their C pedants if they really want to.  This is mainly
due to the fact, that crazy thread optimization can be done securly.

A prominent example is [fd](https://github.com/sharkdp/fd), which uses
multiple threads to traverse the file system, thereby being around 50%
faster than find(1).  Just the imagination of a parallel FS access in C
gives me nightmares. :^)
