- Its published runner comparison uses the same 500 local GET requests and reports five-run medians, with a benchmark script linked for reproduction.
Field notes
For authentication, the collection can use a login request to obtain a token; the client checks for a missing or near-expiry token, refreshes it, and retries if a server still returns 401. The published runner test uses a local JSON endpoint and reports median results across five runs after a warm-up. Its stated setup is an Apple M5 Mac with 16 GB of memory, and the page links to the benchmark script.
