Adding caching to Prettier is reasonably easy, and most people will already have it through lint-staged or something similar.

I'm much more impressed by "dprint is 3* faster than Prettier for the same task" than "dprint is 40* faster than Prettier because dprint caches results and Prettier doesn't". That makes me want to look at dprint. The "40* faster" figure makes it look like the benchmark is wrong.

The title of the article was and is "Speeding up Prettier locally and on your CI with dprint". If you use the Rust-based plugins instead of Prettier it will be much faster as noted at the end of the article.

To add another advantage of using dprint not mentioned, is that since it's pluggable you can use Prettier and other formatters all from the same formatting CLI. The main dprint repo does this in its dprint.json (https://github.com/dprint/dprint/blob/3d822a48133358ec4e2d5b...)

That 40x faster title is an editorialised one from the submitter, not the articles title itself
