Hack is quite a bit more optimized than Pyre was, but Pyrefly is at least 10x faster than Pyre on the IG codebase.

I didn’t know about the Rust-based Hack checker— that’s really cool!

Where do those speed ups come from? 10x seems extraordinary for a task that’s pretty IO-bound. Was Pyre ineffectively parallelised or something?

IO bound, how you define that? From my perspective, modern consumer grade SSDs/NVMes producing 7GB/s-8GB/s (yep, Giga Byte per second) for reads gives me 1/7-1/8 of second to load that data in RAM the rest of the 1 second is for CPU.
