Benchmarks

ParticleDB publishes transparent, reproducible benchmarks. We show where we win and where competitors lead.

Methodology

All benchmarks follow these principles:

1. Single test at a time — no concurrent benchmarks competing for resources
2. Warmup iterations — 1-2 full warmup passes before timed runs
3. Best-of-3 timing — report the best (not average) to reduce noise
4. Same hardware — all head-to-head comparisons on the same machine, same session
5. Published raw data — full JSON results available for independent verification
6. Honest gaps — we report where competitors win, not just where we do
