+
+## What it is
+
+hyperfine times commands. It runs each one many times, after warm-up runs, and reports the mean, spread and range, so you can tell whether one version of a script or a build setting is really faster than another. It can export results as Markdown, JSON or CSV.
+
+## Why it's here
+
+- **Real numbers.** Repeated runs and statistics instead of a single `time`.
+- **Side-by-side comparisons.** Give it several commands and it says which is fastest, and by how much.
+
+## On CoreDesktop
+
+hyperfine is installed from pacman. `update` keeps it current with the rest of the pacman packages.
+
+```
+hyperfine 'grep -r foo .' 'rg foo'
