From the ugrep README:

For an up-to-date performance comparison of the latest ugrep, please see the ugrep performance benchmarks [at https://github.com/Genivia/ugrep-benchmarks]. Ugrep is faster than GNU grep, Silver Searcher, ack, sift. Ugrep's speed beats ripgrep in most benchmarks.

Does these performance comparison take into account the things BurntSushi (ripgrep author) pointed out in the ripgrep issue link elsewhere ITT? https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep/discussions/2597

Either way, ripgrep is awesome and I’m staying with it.

Agreed - ripgrep is great, and I'm not planning to switch either. The performance improvement is tiny, anyways.
