Benchmarks & Architecture

Measured numbers and how the engine stays small and fast.

Updated Sep 16, 2026

One self-contained binary, ~14 MB base footprint, no runtime dependencies. Indexing runs in parallel; the UI renders only the visible window.

Published numbers (Rust engine, Apple M3 Max)

  • Linux kernel, 95,696 files: ~327 ms index, ~58 MB after indexing
  • Django, 7,014 files: ~48 ms index, ~26 MB
  • Redis, 1,866 files: ~6 ms index, ~22 MB
  • Flask, 235 files: ~1 ms index, ~19 MB
  • Agent context pack on 72 GB workspace: 27.8s manual hunt → 2.7s in one call

Go vs Rust

Rust is the default download; Go is the automatic fallback where no native Rust build exists. File counts match on every repo, payloads are byte-identical, and indexing is 1.6–4× faster in Rust. Full methodology lives in the v1.0.0 changelog entry.
