On the other hand, Corrode uses preprocessed source, right? Macro constants are often wanted as part of the interface getting bindings, so that might need work. My impression is that...

@vks when was the last time you checked num's bigint performance? It has seen significant performance work more recently than rust-lang/num#102 was filed. I'm sure any library that uses asm...

It seems wise to keep *some* available capacity when possible. A more general case could be made whenever it pops to an empty head block and there are N remaining...

FWIW, rayon-rs/rayon#791 switched to `crossbeam_deque::Injector`, but at the time I saw that the code was almost identical to `SeqQueue`, so I would guess that the same allocation questions arise. (It...

The timing variance might be interesting too, if you can measure that -- it will probably be more consistent in the happy path that simply keeps reusing the same allocation.

With the caveat that I only have a rough intuition of how `crossbeam-epoch` actually works... :sweat_smile: > Adjust rayon to use separate `Global`s for each thread pools as a kind...

> Maybe, `solana-validator`'s rayon task queue's element byte size isn't significant in general. Rayon's queues only deal with opaque `JobRef`s, which are just two pointers each.

I was not imagining any public API changes in rayon, not even feature flags. My thought was that we would just internally create a collector in rayon's `Registry` and create...
