But when checking benchmarks and comparisons you should keep the following in mind.

## Benchmarks and speed

When you check the benchmarks, it is common to see several tools of different types compared as equivalent.

Specifically, to see Uvicorn, Starlette and FastAPI compared together (among many other tools).

	w := c.tabwriter()
	zDump := c.ztunnelDump

	pols := slices.Filter(maps.Values(zDump.Policies), filter.Verify)

		if r := cmp.Compare(a.Namespace, b.Namespace); r != 0 {
			return r
		}
		return cmp.Compare(a.Name, b.Name)
	})
	fmt.Fprintln(w, "NAMESPACE\tPOLICY NAME\tACTION\tSCOPE")

	for _, pol := range pols {
