Wild is a decent bit faster than mold at this point:

(Benchmarks in the README.)

Rui mentioned today that he managed to speed up mold "about 1.5 times" while writing this paper https://x.com/rui314/status/2092486965186969699?s=20

Seems that some optimizations went to mold 2.42 and others are not yet released. Wild benchmarked mold 2.40 or 2.41

Old tweet from Rui, but I saw it in a recent zig video and really liked the sentiment:

> my strategy is to increase the value of commons by, say, 100 and get 1 as a return, so bear with me. If you want to use mold for free, you can just do that. This is my open-source business strategy.

Wishing the best for Mold and Rui
