hey I work on the project. This isn't a "re-write in rust" thing, we intend to iterate on the protocol itself to drive performance improvements. nearly all of our team are veterans of the IPFS ecosystem who want to see IPFS evolve to be more performant. We obviously can't change the overall performance of the network overnight, but we do control interop between nodes that run iroh, where we plan to ship fast-paths that we can propose as spec-level changes to the protocol once proven in the wild. Our initial research indicates the thing that needs the most attention isn't the DHT (a commonly-cited source of slowness), but the data transfer protocol: bitswap. We plan to tackle that in the coming months.
