ripgrep absolutely tears through some large monoorepos we have at work, far faster than GNU grep.
I imagine the performance difference is even more startling for anyone on a Mac who hasn't replaced BSD grep with GNU grep (install the gnu tools from homebrew and alias "grep" to "ggrep", the performance difference is huge).
