Are there other improvements besides the security advantages from this? E.g. performance or memory usage?



Performance can be considered a consequence of security/language safety. Rust code is free from data races and developers can utilize concurrency and all available CPU cores without fear.


As evidenced by Servo.


Interesting question. One assumes they've achieved at least parity with the legacy code, so comparing these in detail would yield some useful insights.
