    Rust

    Pretty poor performance on part 2, was initially 10s, got down to 2.5s, but still seems pretty poor.

      Found a cheaty way to get sub 1s:

          fn defrag2(p0: &mut [i64]) {
              let mut i = *p0.last().unwrap();
              while i > 3000 {  // Stop defragging here, probably cant find free spots after this point
                  let (old_pos, size) = find_file(p0, i);
                  if let Some(new_pos) = find_slot(p0, size, old_pos) {
                      move_file(p0, i, size, old_pos, new_pos);
                  }
                  i -= 1;
              }
          }
      

      Might be possible to correctly do this in the find_slot code, so that if it fails to find a slot, it never searches for that size again.

      edit:

      fn defrag2(p0: &mut [i64]) {
              let mut i = *p0.last().unwrap();
              let mut max_size = 10;
              while i > 0 {
                  let (old_pos, size) = find_file(p0, i);
                  if size <= max_size {
                      if let Some(new_pos) = find_slot(p0, size, old_pos) {
                          move_file(p0, i, size, old_pos, new_pos);
                      } else {
                          max_size = size - 1;
                      }
                  }
                  if max_size == 0 {
                      return;
                  }
                  i -= 1;
              }
          }
      

      500ms, I can go to sleep now.

        haha, kept going at it, got it down to 4ms, by tracking where the searches ended, and starting from there next time.

        Definitely done now :D
