gollark: Sadly my phone CPU is weak and it can only do yes at 500MB/s.
gollark: What are you doing with it?
gollark: When have you needed that?
gollark: It is, because nobody actually needs to print `y\n` at 120GB/s. In fact, you're not even PRINTING it, just... counting and devnulling it.
gollark: They were able to reach 120GB/s, vs 120MB/s with the naive implementation or 12GB/s with the GNU yes one.
