You must be holding it wrong, because everyone else raves about uv





Usually uv pip is only about x2 as fast as regular pip for me. Occasionally I'll have some combination of dependencies that will cause pip to take 2-5 minutes to resolve that uv will handle in 10-20 seconds.

They said "no meaningful speedup". 2x is meaningful

The impact of a 2x speedup is relative. For a quick test on one of my projects it's 10 seconds with pip and 4 seconds with uv. That's roughly in line with my previous testing. It's a nice minor speedup on average. It really shines when pip does some non-optimal resolving in the background that takes a minute or more.
