benchmarks vs grep?

[jahala]

tilth isn’t trying to replace grep for raw text search — for that, it wraps ripgrep internally so perf is comparable. It’s about reducing round-trips and giving the agent a verified edit workflow, not faster search.

Instead of cat + grep + manual line counting, one tool call returns a structural outline of a large file, lets you drill into sections, and since this last update also returns hashline-anchored output that an edit tool can target.

well yah, that's what I mean how better is it versus cat + grep + manual line counting. Agents tend to perform worse with niche tools
