nice I didn’t know about this project and it’s using my implementation of VarIntG8IU codec.

I will give it a try.

The only mention of a benchmark I see is an issue raised over a year ago, so I wonder what they are basing this claim on.

It is quite confusing when projects advertise that they have best-in-class performance then don't provide benchmark results in the readme or documentation. This may be an extreme example of that.

Would be nice to see it compared with Xapian as Xapian has been around for a long time.

I want someone to use one of these libraries to build a local-desktop-offline personal search engine which only crawls sources I select, including my personal emails and browsing history.

Finder on OSX meets that criteria

Now if only it would index the actual web pages of the browser history.
