Benchmarks are off
Benchmarks in the readme are confusing; looks like there are some leftover rows from the 4.0 release which should no longer be there.
Oh, nice catch! They probably should be re-done since the numbers will have slightly increased in 4.0.
I've just done small benchmark for my project - about 2800 modules, a lot of css, files with css modules, postcss, etc. macOS, i7 2.2, 16 gb https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16mQDv4Zg2ON1ky1o3aeUD-2yhMwoCUY_CpnDLLMlZmY/edit?usp=sharing Hope it will be useful for someone)
Thanks for sharing @AleksandrZhukov ! Will incorporate this along with the new benchmarks I make
Forgot to add, tests were made for webpack 2.6.1
