RustingStrata hits 160 tok/s on RTX 3060 running 35B MoE, ~2x faster than llama.cpp

Duplicate post of the same RustingStrata release: the pure-Rust engine decodes Qwen3.6-35B-A3B (Q2KXL, some experts on CPU) on a 12 GB RTX 3060 at 118 tok/s, and up to 160 tok/s with MTP speculative decoding — 2x llama.cpp (68 tok/s). MTP made llama.cpp slower and crashed on some settings. Prefill 2200 tok/s matches llama.cpp; 32K context does 1800 prefill / 92 decode; Vulkan matches CUDA speed; output matches top-1 98-99%.
