I appreciate performance as much as the next person; but I see this endless battle to measure things in ns/us/ms as performative.

Sure there are 0.000001% edge cases where that MIGHT be the next big bottleneck.

I see the same thing repeated in various front end tooling too. They all claim to be _much_ faster than their counterpart.

9/10 whatever tooling you are using now will be perfectly fine. Example; I use grep a lot in an ad hoc manner on really large files I switch to rg. But that is only in the handful of cases.
