 # Quote of the Week
 
-<!-- QOTW goes here -->
+> The performance impact of moving to Rust – and this is a common theme across everything done when we've moved from C/C++ to Rust – we saw a 5 to 15% performance Improvement.
+>
+> I'll say that one of the ways that you could attack that kind of stat is say well you rewrote it so whenever you rewrite something you're going to improve it and if you'd rewritten it in C or C++ you would have also seen an improvement like that but the fact is we did not intend to get a performance Improvement. This was purely a porting exercise and we saw this now.
+>
+> And the other aspect of this is that we never see performance regressions either when we're doing our ports [...]
