Perhaps smitherfield actually was talking about the overall relative performance of "Rust [programs] on that Benchmarks Game site". To say something about whether Rust-the-language-implementation was building faster executables wouldn't we compare the same Rust programs built with different Rust versions (not compare Rust programs against Java or C++ programs). Match-up measurements of the same programs, from the 1st June 2015 and 1st June 2016 data files, like this: elapsed secs program id 4.013 => 3.780 binarytrees #1 15.449 => 16.650 fannkuchredux #2 5.204 => 5.588 fasta #1 0.070 => 0.067 meteor #1 0.050 => 0.044 meteor #2 24.630 => 24.068 nbody #1 1.733 => 1.743 pidigits #1 436.686 => 288.131 threadring #1 :and then note that the measurements were made on different OS versions, probably with different LLVM versions.
