Not that I didn’t believe BurntSushi but I wanted my own validation. Not suprised you got the same result. I think with whitelisting there is probably no need to mmap for these tools.

The nested comments and strings will probably slow you down a lot. I know it did for me. I’m looking forward to the new GC settings in Go so I can tweak it for faster performance.

Did you ever work out why loc was performing so badly on multi core systems? Sounds like you did but curious what the bottleneck was. I don’t understand rust well enough to be able to guess sorry.

I thought I similar utilization in tokei on my machine. I copied the concurrency pattern straight from ripgrep. I'll have to take a look tomorrow. I assumed I was still bottlenecked on reads.

Interesting. Actually being blocked on reads sounds about right. I’ll try running the benchmarks again one of these days. Probably after I get access to the Go GC controls that are apparently on the way.
