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.
