For SSD, if the read queue depth is big, the performance improves significantly compared to sequential reads. Does ripgrep has an option to read many files in parallel?


ripgrep uses parallelism by default.

Parallelism applies both to directory traversal, gitignore filtering and search. But that's where its granularity ends. It does not use parallelism at the level of single-file search.
