TFA has a benchmark comparing Midnight Commander to NNN.

  I'm sorry, what is TFA? The internet is no help. Alternatively, could you please link to details about the comparison?

    "TFA" = "the <expletive deleted> article". wenderen is indicating that the question you raise is addressed on the nnn Github page itself: https://github.com/jarun/nnn#performance https://github.com/jarun/nnn#performance

      Performance alone doesn't really answer the question, or e.g. we'd all be using assembly for our programming. As explained in another comment, I'm interested in the experience of users of both programs. It's clear that nnn is not offered up as a specific alternative to mc, of course, but I consider mc a staple for file management in the terminal and I think that's not unreasonable of me, or controversial.

        The most used in Eastern Europe orthodox file manager [1] for DOS, Volkov Commander [2] is purely written in assembly language actually.
