I don't think your "11%" is the best representation of the data. black sheep (python): 101,508 req/sec actix (rust): 886,499 req/sec yes, 101508/886499 = 0.1

I don't think your "11%" is the best representation of the data. black sheep (python): 101,508 req/sec actix (rust): 886,499 req/sec yes, 101508/886499 = 0.11 but your "x is % of y" doesn't seem to capture the relationship very well here IMO. you could also say, the rust library processes 773% more requests per sec. or, the python library processes 89% fewer requests per sec. (using: percent change = d2/d1-1) personally I prefer multiples in terms of the larger thing. actix does over 8x the requests per/sec as the python lib.
