`@node-rs/argon2` is faster than `Bun.password`?

import { group, bench, run } from "mitata";
import { hash } from "@node-rs/argon2";

group("hashers", () => {
  bench("Bun.password", async () => {
    await Bun.password.hash("hello");
  });

  bench("@node-rs/argon2", async () => {
    await hash("hello");
  });
});

await run();

[Jarred-Sumner]

bun probably has a more expensive default configuration

Including the additional cost factors:

import { group, bench, run } from "mitata";
import { hash, Algorithm } from "@node-rs/argon2";

group("hashers", () => {
  bench("Bun.password", async () => {
    await Bun.password.hash("hello", {
        algorithm: 'argon2id',
        memoryCost: 512,
        timeCost: 512,
      });
  });

  bench("@node-rs/argon2", async () => {
    await hash("hello", {
        algorithm: Algorithm.Argon2id,
        memoryCost: 512,
        timeCost: 512,

    });
  });
});

await run();

Yields the following:
