_{First run: every cache the tool keeps is emptied before each run. Repeat run: caches kept. Median of 10 runs per tool on GitHub Actions ubuntu24 20261018.339.1, 4 CPUs, Node v24.22.0, 21 Oct 2026; listing timed with hyperfine 1.20.0. Pickers run in a 160×50 terminal and count as loaded at the last thing they draw or write to their cache before 5 s of quiet, so rows fetched off screen count too. inup's times include its vulnerability check, which the other tools don't run. inup's first picker run also downloads its native core (about 1.5 MB). Fastest in bold.}
