Very true. I'm in a different part of the country (I'm in Boston, they're in Philadelphia) and tried running the benchmarks myself about a week ago. Unfortunately, I didn't save the results, but if you take my word for it, I remember getting similar results with only slightly different numbers. Your best bet, of course, is to run the benchmarks yourself: https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/forgeperf

Some other people ran the benchmarks from different places in Europe and got similar results with "nothing significantly different" from those published: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22900649

I'll try it out later today. Would be interesting to see actually because, completely anecdotally, GitLab seems faster than sr.ht in my daily usage.

Don't make the same mistake that I did! Save your results and share them with the class. :)

SourceHut is still the winner of most, but GitHub is a lot faster than in the report on forgeperf.org.

I think the perceived speediness of GitHub for me can be mostly attributed to the fact they don't trigger a full page reload for every navigation. Whereas SourceHut is rendered completely server-side AFAIK.

(I meant GitHub in my previous comment, fyi.)
