## Poolifier vs other pools benchmark
To compare poolifier pools performance vs other pools performance we chose to use [hyperfine](https://github.com/sharkdp/hyperfine).
-We chose to use this tool because it allows to run isolated Node.js processes so that each pool does not impact each other.

External pools with which we compared the poolifier results:

-- [threads.js](https://github.com/andywer/threads.js/)
+- [tinypool](https://github.com/tinylibs/tinypool)
- [workerpool](https://github.com/josdejong/workerpool)

Those are our results:

-## How to run benchmarks
+External pools with which we used to compare the poolifier results:
+
+<!-- - [node-worker-threads-pool](https://github.com/SUCHMOKUO/node-worker-threads-pool): removed because it does not support dynamic modules import or import outside the worker function. The worker function is expected to be self-contained, which makes it difficult to use in real world application without ugly hacks. -->
+
+- [worker-threads-pool](https://github.com/watson/worker-threads-pool): removed because unmaintained since more than 4 years.
+- [threadwork](https://github.com/kevlened/threadwork): removed because unmaintained since more than 3 years.
+- [microjob](https://github.com/wilk/microjob): removed because unmaintained since more than 5 years.
+- [threads.js](https://github.com/andywer/threads.js/): removed because not a threads pool.
### Internal
-To run the internal benchmark you just need to navigate to the root of poolifier project and run `npm run benchmark`
