Recorded with cargo bench -p rynix-lexer (Criterion, 10 MiB synthetic
workloads plus a mixed "corpus" workload built from realistic Rynix source).
Criterion keeps its raw history under target/criterion/ and automatically
compares each run against the previous one; this file is the committed,
human-readable record.
- Each workload is generated in memory (no disk I/O inside the measured loop).
- The lexer runs through
CountSink, so diagnostics cost is included but no diagnostic storage allocates. - Throughput = input bytes / wall time, single thread, no warm cache tricks.
- To pin a named baseline locally:
cargo bench -p rynix-lexer -- --save-baseline <name>and later-- --baseline <name>.
Machine: Windows 10 dev box, x86_64-pc-windows-gnu, stable Rust, lto = "thin"
bench profile. This machine is noisy (antivirus, background services); numbers
are mid estimates with roughly +/-10% run-to-run variance. CI on Linux should
re-record this table when it comes online.
| Workload | Throughput (mid) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| identifiers | ~800 MiB/s | keyword-vs-ident lookup on every token |
| numbers | ~313 MiB/s | +27% after skipping validation when no _ |
| strings | ~640 MiB/s | memchr3-driven scan, escapes validated |
| punctuation | ~337 MiB/s | worst case: ~1.9 bytes/token dispatch bound |
| corpus (mixed) | ~388 MiB/s | realistic module: defs, structs, literals |
- Mixed-corpus acceptance: ≥ ~400 MiB/s single core (within noise). Status: met (~388 MiB/s mid; 358–414 MiB/s interval on the Phase 1 close machine). This is the shipping lexer performance gate.
- Identifier-heavy workloads already approach ~800 MiB/s; further SIMD work is optional optimization, not an open acceptance residual.
