Parsing Safely, from 500MB/s to 2GB/s
summary
A Rust implementation of an HTTP parser is optimized to increase throughput from ~500 MB/s to 2 GB/s while remaining safe and readable. The talk compares performance against hand-written C parsers, explains which parser-combinator patterns and low-level optimizations matter, and presents an actual Rust implementation with profiling data that justifies each change.
