ack closed the issues linked in the readme

ack seems to have closed the bugs that are linked in the readme. The other tools have also probably progressed since 2016.

It would probably be a good idea to re-run the benchmark so it's up to date.

As the issues you've linked state, they are not fixed in ack2 but are fixed in ack3. ack3 is currently under development. Once ack3 becomes the official stable release, I'll update the benchmark to use ack3.

Indeed! That's why I periodically update them.

The benchmarks in the README are meant to give a rough glance. If you want more detailed benchmarks, then see my blog post, which is also linked in the README. The blog post gets updated far less frequently because it is a lot of work. It will happen at my own discretion.
