super_speedy_syslog_searcher 0.2.50

Speedily search and merge log file entries by datetime. DateTime filters may be passed to narrow the search. It aims to be very fast.

// benches/bench_decode_utf.rs

//! Decoding `[u8]` to `str` is a surprisingly resource intensive process,
//! according to reviews of this program run using `tools/flamegraph.sh`
//! this bench file is a comparison of strategies.
