Enable Link-Time Optimization (LTO) for the Tauri part #7

Closed zamazan4ik closed 5 days ago

zamazan4ik commented 5 days ago

Hi!

I noticed that in the Cargo.toml file for the Tauri part, Link-Time Optimization (LTO) for the project is not enabled. I suggest switching it on since it will reduce the binary size (always a good thing to have) and will likely improve the application's performance a bit.

I suggest enabling LTO only for the Release builds so as not to sacrifice the developers' experience while working on the project since LTO consumes an additional amount of time to finish the compilation routine. If you think that a regular Release build should not be affected by such a change as well, then I suggest adding an additional dist or release-lto profile where additionally to regular release optimizations LTO will also be added. Such a change simplifies life for maintainers and others interested in the project persons who want to build the most performant version of the application. Using ThinLTO should also help to reduce the build-time overhead with LTO. E.g., check cargo-outdated Release profile.

Basically, it can be enabled with the following lines:

[profile.release]
lto = true

According to the official Tauri documentation, you may also be interested in enabling other optimizations.

Thank you.

LGTM, could you open a PR for this change?

Are you interested only in LTO or also in any other optimizations from the linked Tauri documentation page?

we can use LTO and other optimizations too
