Thank you for the feedback!

The benchmarks that are mentioned in the README are performed for a "warm cache", i.e. I'm running one of the tools first to fill the caches. Then, I'm performing multiple runs of each tool (using bench for some nice statistics) such that both tools profit from the warmed-up cache.

I also perform other benchmarks where I clear the caches. In this case, 'fd' is usually even faster.

The scripts for both warm and cold cache are here: https://gist.github.com/sharkdp/4bc3e5f5ea9df2f29c02ede50634...
