it isn't exactly the same (I think premove doesn't support glob patterns), but do you think could be fair compare it with del?

Sure – I'd (eventually) set up a benchmark that doesn't even use glob patterns. The main feature is recursive removals, not pattern matching.

I'd also throw rimraf into the mix (and probably native fs.rmdir for fun). But TBH this is a low-ish priority for me just because the native offering exists and isn't cutting-edge anymore. Basically, premove exists as a lightweight solution for older Node versions, and now offers a light CLI layer. Unless candidates are doing something crazy, all items should be throttled/limited by how quickly Node can execute the removals
