BENCHMARK / v1.3.5 MEASURED
Search speed, in numbers.
Measured on Linux x64 with synthetic datasets of 10,000, 100,000 and 500,000 files. The results below use 500,000 files, comparing Such with a prebuilt index loaded in memory against GNU find and ripgrep scanning files directly.
- Initial indexing
- 59.72 s
- Peak indexing memory
- 1,202.8 MiB
- Initial index size

Engine timings keep the Runtime in memory and exclude GUI latency and index loading. Searching a prebuilt index and scanning files directly use different mechanisms.
AMD EPYC 9V74 · 5 logical CPUs · 5.8 GiB RAM · overlayfs · warm OS page cache. Engine: 5 warmups + 40 measurements; comparison tools: 2 + 7. Such requires index creation and updates. File-change detection latency was not measured.
Linux Fix5 Runtime results. Windows Explorer, Windows Search, the Windows DLL and GUI performance were not measured.
Reports and reproduction files
Original reports are in Korean. The reports use separate measurement runs, so their figures differ. The table above uses the search comparison CSV.
