All benchmarks we're done using the "hyperfine" tool, version 1.18.0
All benchmarks were done on the same system running the following specs;
- CPU: Ryzen 7 5800HS
- GPU: Built-in APU
- Memory: 22.88 GiB
- Form-Factor: Laptop
Some benchmarks were performed in live-boot environments, these benchmarks are noted as such.
To transfer exact binaries and config files between systems, everything was put on a singular USB stick with a script used to place in config files into their default positions. From there the binaries on those USB sticks were ran, meaning the same version and builds were running at the same time. Another script simply runs the binaries to ensure that they work and have correct configs, and a finals script was used to run the hyperfine benchmark.
