Ability to see timing per instruction (when choosing sufficiently high hardware counter precision) also doesn't hurt.

Getting there... Not on par with C++ original that uses handwritten SIMD but getting pretty close, and the microarchitecture usage is looking a lot better now.

Easily became my favourite profiler over this time.
There is a lot of good stuff in there beyond traditional flamegraphs, but one of the first things that got me hooked in is "microarchitecture usage" stats - easy way to find functions that would benefit most from SIMD and the like.

Of all the misguided uses of AI, several manufacturers now putting hallucinations inside phone cameras and calling it "zoom" pisses me off in particular.
Why would you have a "camera" app that invents stuff that isn't there? It doesn't even look good. Just show me the naturally blurred picture.

Something that does work a bit faster is something like this - 35% improvement on a chain of 100 std::iter::once elements, but of course, unlike stdlib, this won't handle double-ended iteration.
