Profile-Guided Optimization (PGO)

The basic concept of PGO is to collect data about the typical execution of a program (e.g. which branches it is likely to take) and then use this data to inform optimizations such as inlining, machine-code layout, register allocation, etc.

rustc

supports doing profile-guided optimization (PGO). We expect to be able to use it to enhance the build.
