Benchmark for Oxc vs ESLint

This benchmark only compares with ESLint and does not compare against Biome because the rules do not match.

Summary

Oxlint is 50x - 100x faster than ESLint depending on the number of CPU cores.

Input

• uses the vscode/src directory, which contains 3684 files to lint
• See .eslintrc.json for ESLint configuration.
• @typescript-eslint is required for TypeScript
