Okay, so today I decided to mess around with comparing Shaan and Ruud. It’s something I’ve been meaning to do for a while, just to see how they stack up, performance-wise, in a specific scenario I had in mind.

First, I grabbed the latest versions of both. Pretty straightforward, just downloaded the packages I needed. Then, I set up a basic testing environment. Nothing fancy, just a simple script to simulate the kind of workload I wanted to test.
Setting Up the Test
The test itself involved processing a bunch of data – think of it like a big list of names and numbers. I wanted to see how quickly each could chew through this data and spit out a summary.
- Created a dummy dataset.
- Wrote a basic processing script for Shaan.
- Wrote a similar script for Ruud.
Running the Show
I fired up the scripts, one after the other. I made sure to run them a few times, just to get a more average sense of their speed. I kept an eye on my system resources too, to see how much CPU and memory each was hogging.
While they ran, I jotted down the times. Nothing super scientific, just used a stopwatch on my phone. I wasn’t looking for millisecond precision, just a general idea of which one was faster.
The Results (Kind Of)
Honestly, it was pretty close! Both Shaan and Ruud performed well. Ruud was a tad faster in a couple of runs, but Shaan was more consistent. It’s like one was a sprinter and other was more marathon material, I need more time to test it, maybe I can share more deatils next time.
So, there you have it. My little experiment comparing Shaan and Ruud. It wasn’t the most rigorous test, but it gave me a better feel for how they perform in this particular situation. Might do some more tweaking and testing later, but for now, I’m calling it a day!
