I decided to benchmark these scenarios out of curiosity, because I hadn't heard of eatmydata before or of force-unsafe-io.

- Docker image: `debian:stable-slim`

- `docker system prune -a` ran before each test.

- Packages installed: `build-essential ca-certificates libssl-dev software-properties-common wget curl git`

Results:

Default Debian settings: 48.32 seconds

force-unsafe-io enabled: 55.86 seconds

eatMyData enabled: 35.04 seconds
