Machine code generated from Rust usually levels with C in terms of raw performance, often outperforming it

LLVM is not a VM, but a (native) language compiler.
Rust compiles to native code just as C and C++ do, and it uses LLVM as the compiler back-end.
Rust will frequently be faster that C or C++ for implementing the same algorithm, and sometimes a bit slower.

You got a really weird number at String.IndexOf. Here are my results:
Elapsed Time for [String.Replace]: 16,8695848 sec
Elapsed Time for [String.IndexOf]: 2,0153508 sec
Elapsed Time for [String.SubString]: 11,7445885 sec
Elapsed Time for [String.Remove]: 10,1579051 sec
.NET 6 is 1.7x up to 2.9x faster.
I think these numbers are pretty consistent.

Prior to .NET 5, culture-specific comparisons used NLS[^] on Windows. Since .NET 5, they switched to using ICU[^] instead.
Globalization and ICU | Microsoft Docs[^]
There is a config switch to force .NET to use NLS instead, but it's not recommended:
Breaking change with string.IndexOf(string) from .NET Core 3.0 -> .NET 5.0[^]
If you change your IndexOf call to specify StringComparison.Ordinal or StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase, the .NET 6 code is roughly 1.5x faster than the .NET Framework 4.8 equivalent.

likly this. core 3.1 default basic just fine, and then 5.1 is playing a different sport.
This sounds like same issue with defaults switching from Newtonsoft JSON to System.Text that Text uses case sensitive name matching

I can reproduce the nature (if not the exact numbers) of these results using BenchmarkDotNet and the same code being benchmarked (i.e. the loop bodies). I added a fifth benchmark for IndexOf with StringComparison.Ordinal.

Zwölf is currently being expanded to version 0.2. Version 0.1 was a simple thing that did not have many obstacles that would not allow a higher clock frequency. Now I'm running the little old processor at 8 MHz (Vcc = Vdd = 5V). That's 160% of the specified maximum clock frequency and 450% of my old Elf. It's still running cool and stable. Not even passive cooling is needed. I guess, the next try will be with 9 MHz.
Version 0.3 is going to be all aboutmy DIY MMU and slightly expanding the RAM. That's why my first mass storage device is included in this version. I'm going to use a Compact Flash memory card as SSD. Let's hope that it can keep up with a 40 years older processor on steroids. In the long run sooner or later some I/O device must come along that can't keep up with the bus timing at that speed, so I probably will have to throw in wait states into the I/O bus cycles anyway. And if not, I can still squeeze a few more kilobytes per second over the bus by using DMA. Coolest thing of all: The processor does not stop processing instructions for DMA. The program keeps running while we load more data over the bus than it could shovel in a program loop.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Do you have any documentation that can help one to re-create your work, and create a clone of the Zwölf to play with?

You can have the schematics and my assembly code for version 0.1. You can easily replicate it on a breadboard and I can point you in the right directions to find useful tools like an assembler and an emulator. Zwölf 0.1 is very bare bones, so that the emulator can still be reconfigured to the few changes to the old Elf. That is really helpful to get you started. Unfortunately the emulator will become useless once I get more of the Zwölfy features working, but I'm already in contact with the author who wants to make the emulator more versatile anyway. Still, the processor is very different from the other 8 bit processors of the time and the emulator will probably be a great help to get you more familiar with it.
Later, we will be on our own. Zwöf is a departure from the old Elf concept and therefore most old software and tools will not be very helpful anymore. We are mostly on our own, but that's part of the fun.

2Pac - Changes[^]
Heard this one on the radio a while back.
I listen to the radio about five minutes a week, on my way to the grocery store, so that's a bit of a coincidence.
I used to listen to 2Pac when I was about 13/14 years old.
To be honest, I totally forgot about this one, but after hearing it once I had to hear it again and again and again...
Sadly, he's mostly right and nothing has changed since this was recorded in 1992, or came out in 1998.
Although the USA did get their first black president, so I guess he was at least somewhat wrong about that.
For those who don't know 2Pac, he's considered one of the most influential rappers ever, he was also an actor, he's a best-selling artist with more than 75 million records sold worldwide, he was shot during a drivy-by at 25 in 1996 (this song was released after his death).
If you're thinking this song sounds familiar, but you've never listened to 2Pac before, it's sampled from Bruce Hornsby and the Range's 1986 hit, The Way It Is.

What if We Paid for Bugs? – George Stocker[^]
It ends with Quote: Take this a bit further, and imagine that in our world that that state of affairs has always existed and exists now. What software would be better in this brave new world? What software would be worse?
Well ... the first thing that springs to mind is that Corel would have been bankrupt for decades. 
I can see it as a good idea, myself: I strive for reliable, robust software with as few bugs as possible (none by preference, but ...)
However, a heck of a lot of the source code I see seems to be assembled from a kit of parts (most of which weren't intended to do that job) and hammered together with little or no testing. Would a "pay by the problem" approach improve that? Or just scare the "easy money coder" away from the industry?
What do you think?

Your comment reminds me of the old joke about Corel 2000 - it was nothing to do with the millennium, just the number of programs in the package.
