I tried to gauge the cpu usage (just looking at the percentage as listed
in xmobar) -- but both grep and ag are too fast on the ~400mb set of
files for that to work... As I have two cores on this machine, the
difference between ag and rgrep could indeed be ag's use of threads.
Many thanks for not just writing and sharing ag as free software, but
for the nice articles describing the design and optimizations!
At least this brief benchmarking run convinced me that I should probably
try to integrate ag in my work flow :-)
