From Hugo van Kemenade, some benchmarking of the performance of prek for managing git commit hooks:
prek is noticeably quicker at installing hooks.
⚡ About 10x faster than pre-commit and uses only a third of disk space. This 10x is a comparison of installing hooks using the excellent hyperfine benchmarking tool.
Here’s my own comparison.
Kemenade doesn’t see 10x but definitely a significant performance boost. He also provides some handy shell aliases for pre-commit and prek.
