The following table provides median times it takes to decode a string to a tree for html parsers that can be used from Elixir. Benchmarks were conducted on a machine with an `AMD Ryzen 9 3950X (32) @ 3.500GHz` CPU and 32GB of RAM. The `mix fast_html.bench` task can be used for running the benchmark by yourself.
Full benchmark output can be seen in [this snippet](https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/elixir-libraries/fast_html/snippets/3128)
1. Myhtmlex has a C-Node mode, but it wasn't benchmarked here because it segfaults on `document-large.html`
2. The slowdown on `fragment-small.html` is due to Port overhead. Unlike html5ever and Myhtmlex in NIF mode, `fast_html` has the parser process isolated and communicates with it over stdio, so even if a fatal crash in the parser happens, it won't bring down the entire VM.
