With Ubuntu changing to the Rust implementation of coreutils, what does that mean for performance?

I don’t think anyone is relying on performance of coreutils. If you’re concerned about performance, you’re already writing a program directly, not using a shell script.
Relying on is perhaps too strong, but I enjoy operations like sort getting faster and I don’t know how they’ve written cp but there’s a cp alternative using async IO with io_uring that’s almost twice as fast, I’m sure it’d interest people if such optimizations made it into coreutils.
