Winfetch vs Neofetch

Josh Willox edited this page Mar 2, 2021 · 2 revisions

These benchmarks were performed using hyperfine with winfetch v2.0.0 and neofetch v7.1.0, running on Windows 10. The default neofetch config was used, and winfetch was set up with the equivalent info enabled.

❯ hyperfine -w 3 "neofetch" "powershell -file .\winfetch.ps1"

Benchmark #1: neofetch
  Time (mean ± σ):      4.578 s ±  0.064 s    [User: 6.3 ms, System: 12.9 ms]
  Range (min … max):    4.489 s …  4.675 s    10 runs

Benchmark #2: winfetch
  Time (mean ± σ):      1.006 s ±  0.068 s    [User: 2.4 ms, System: 7.2 ms]
  Range (min … max):    0.951 s …  1.186 s    10 runs

Summary
  'winfetch' ran
    4.55 ± 0.31 times faster than 'neofetch'

It's worth noting that winfetch can be even faster if you are running it from within a PowerShell terminal, around 400 ms cold and 80 ms hot.
