The Computer Language Benchmarks Game has C++ outperforming Rust by around 10% for most benchmarks. Binary trees is 13% faster in C++, and it's not the best C++ binary tree implementation I've seen. k-nucleotide is 32% faster in C++. Rust wins on a few benchmarks like regex-redux, which is a pointless benchmark as they're both just benchmarking the PCRE2 C library, so it's really a C benchmark.

I was going to ask how much you actually program in C++, but I found a past comment of yours:
