Anyway, I did and am continuing to develop this with Rust as one of it's biggest points. It's a cool project to showcase Rust to both users and other software developers. I can use it to teach others Rust by example with well documented code, and possibly gain some buzz for this great language.
That the application has low overhead is mainly a side effect of choosing to develop this application in a low level language like Rust, but the speed is indeed my biggest selling point in general, for now at least. I'm continuing to commit further development into mitigating costs as much as possible.
I can also point out at there is a benefit to using this over the GNU Perl application for large scale computational tasks. Tasks where you are processing hundreds of thousands to hundreds of millions of inputs. This will keep memory consumption low and reduce the amount of CPU cycles required to process those inputs. You could save anywhere from a few minutes to an hour.
