My standard 'install a specific ripgrep' benchmark, now with hyperfine and zero install with nix

benchmark.md

With Rust and Hyperfine installed natively

(through https://rustup.rs)

hyperfine --warmup=1 'cargo install -f [email protected]'

Without installation on any machine with Nix

nix-shell -p cargo hyperfine --run "hyperfine --warmup=1 'cargo install -f [email protected]'"

Without hyperfine

This won't be quite as comparable, hyperfine is really great for benchmarking, but if you only have cargo, just run the install twice:

cargo install -f [email protected] && cargo install -f [email protected]

Framework 12 - 21s
