Benchmarks
You'll find a selection of benchmarks here, comparing Photon's performance to other libraries such as libvips, ImageMagick, and PIL (Python Imaging Library).
The benchmarking tool used for benchmarking other libraries is hyperfine.
Photon's benchmarking is conducted by executing cargo bench in the crate.
If you'd like to benchmark Photon on your own machine also, just clone this repo, cd into crate and execute cargo bench.
