Neofetch faster than winfetch with default settings #204

I did 5 different benchmarks using hyperfine to compare them, and each time neofetch was faster. Both are at their defaults and i used -w 3 to warm them up. Is this true?

vvirtues commented 1 year ago

might be just me, but at default settings, fastfetch destroys the competition

That was because the powershell interpreter was started and stoped in every run.

winfetch is pretty fast if you run it inside powershell interpreter. Try (Measure-Command { ./winfetch.ps1 }).TotalMilliseconds

Winfetch will be slower if you run it outside of PowerShell. It needs to initialize the .NET runtime during startup. The benchmarks assume this cost to be absent.
