Sloc Cloc and Code - Did I just get Buster Scrugged?
Summary
The article presents a deep dive into performance benchmarking between scc and mezura on Linux, using hyperfine and strace to identify bottlenecks such as epoll_ctl, fcntl, newfstatat, and futex. It documents concrete optimizations (parallelizing file-stat work and switching to syscall.Open) that yield measurable speedups, and discusses broader implications and future directions for high-file-count workloads.
