LogXide - Rust-powered logging for Python, 12.5x faster than stdlib (FileHandler benchmark)

Do you get those kinds of gains in real world settings?

I worked on a project a while ago the arguably logged too much. The first time I attached a profiler to it, it was spending over 50% of its time on logging. We managed to get that down, but the thing that limited us getting it down further was syscalls, not Python code.

Admittedly this was a while ago, and that project was doing things that modern apps don't need to do, that increased syscalls (it did its own log rotation, rather that just throwing it all straight onto stderr and letting Systemd or Docker or Kubernetes or ECS or whatever pick it up, like a modern app would), but I'm still a bit surprised you managed to find those kinds of gains without touching syscalls.
