Description

Currently a store can be written in rust, wrapped in pyo3, and then sent to our library. But we don't use that store. We should investigate whether it's possible to somehow "work around" and grab the underlying rust store without compromising performance instead of re-implementing/re-instantiating it in Rust within our package.

Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by tracing the Rust store wrapped with PyO3 as it is passed to the Python library, and compare that with the package's Rust re-instantiation path. Done means documenting whether the underlying store can be reused without compromising performance, with measurements or a clear blocker.
