I find it really frustrating that every piece of software nowadays claims to be "blazing fast" or "built for performance", usually with no benchmarks to back it up. Makes it really hard to tell at a glance what the strengths of a project actually are. I honestly would be very grateful if a project up and said "we're not the fastest, but we trade performance for a simpler codebase and easier extensibility. If you need to do some-performance-intensive-task, try other-package instead".
