alexcrichton opened PR #5566 from optimize-wiggle to main:

I was working with @abrown today on some performance issues with wiggle and these are some of the conclusions that we reached. There's a fair amount of low-hanging fruit in wiggle so this was roughly the time that we started picking!

It isn't AFAICT. You did need an atomic memcpy to prevent a data race, which rust doesn't currently provide. I believe there is an open RFC for it though and you can implement it in assembly.

Personally I don't think this is a clear yes or no one way or the other. The documentation doesn't explicitly say anything, the documentation of LLVM about their memcpy intrinsic doesn't say anything to this effect, nor does memcpy-the-function say anything. The linked issue here is the best place to discuss this and its future resolution.
