FasterFASTA, a Rust-based CLI tool for bioinformatics, optimizes performance by integrating decompression internally instead of using Unix pipes. This allows multi-threaded processing. Benchmarks show that block-oriented formats like BGZ reach 1.69 GB/s on 8 threads, significantly outperforming streaming formats like GZ and ZST.
