> `fd` uses threads and `ff` does not.

Author here. This is true. ff does not use threads right now. I have started learning Rust just a few days ago. I am not quite yet familiar with advanced topics such as achieving parallelism using threads in Rust and other similar stuff. My knowledge of Rust is limited at this moment and I struggled to get the language concepts to work such as ownership, lifetimes, etc. I am sure that I will be able to improvise the ff's performance by some extent by gaining some more knowledge of Rust.

UPDATE: Now ff also uses threads to achieve parallelism.
