Wild 0.10.0 linker outperforms mold in all 20 Rust benchmark runs
Benchmarks comparing Wild 0.10.0 and mold 2.42.1 linkers showed Wild winning every single repetition across ripgrep and cargo projects. Wild was faster by margins of roughly 1.9 ms and 8 ms respectively against mold. Both fast linkers reduced link time to around 1% of a full rebuild, effectively eliminating linking as a performance bottleneck in Rust development. The author also noted nearly publishing flawed data, and the post details how the measurement error was identified and corrected.
