How Rust 1.64 Became 10-20% Faster On Windows?

If you are a Rust developer you have most likely celebrated the news
that the version 1.64 released on 22/09/2022 is 10-20% faster on
Windows.

It is one of the most important changes in that release aside of
stabilization of some APIs.

But how one merge request made it possible to account to such a
performance improvement?

The person behind the merge request is Remy Rakic aka lqd (pronounced
liquid), a French software engineer regularly contributing changes to
the Rust compiler.
