How does it compare in speed to 'ag' (i.e the silver searcher) -g option?

I haven't benchmarked them, but fd has a recursive parallel directory iterator. ag doesn't.

The mysql-server repository[1] should be a fun one to try out, because of this:

    $ wc -l .gitignore
    3122 .gitignore
The combination of fast glob matching[2] and parallel traversal should be a boon.
