"These benchmark were run on David Lattimore's laptop (2020 model System76 Lemur pro), which has 4 cores (8 threads) and 42 GB of RAM."

NB. This is not to suggest wild is bloated. The issue if any is the software being developed with it and the computers of those who might use such software.

Half in jest, but I'd think anybody coding in Rust already has 32GB of RAM...

(Personally, upgrading my laptop to 64GB at the expense of literally everything else was almost a great decision. Almost, because I really should have splurged on RAM and display instead of going all-in on RAM. The only downside is that cleaning up open tabs once a week became a chore, taking up the whole evening.)
