# Internal Changes
- [Build the rustc on AArch64 Linux with ThinLTO + PGO.](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/133807)
The ARM 64-bit compiler (AArch64) on Linux is now optimized with ThinLTO and PGO, similar to the optimizations we have already performed for the x86-64 compiler on Linux. This should make it up to 30% faster.

Tip

Use the previous releases categories to help choose which one(s) to use.
The category will be de-duplicated with all the other ones by the release team.

More than one section can be included if needed.

    maybe even s/LTO/ThinLTO/

    and a s/x64/x86-64/ because replacements are so much fun

    #135262 also included some notable compile time improvements that weren't included in the benchmarks posted for this PR. This is due to setting rust.jemalloc and and llvm.thin-lto we presume, placing the mean for rustc-perf about -13.46% for that PR.

    Total rustc-perf improvements on the debug-full profile across both PRs look something like up to 45%, with a 35% improvement for bootstrap/rustc-total. I don't currently have a mean value across both.
