[PATCH] D26919: Update document. It is not an overstatement that LLD is 2x faster than gold.

[Rui Ueyama via llvm-commits]

ruiu added inline comments.


================
Comment at: docs/NewLLD.rst:14
 you can expect it to be linkable with LLD.
-It is currently about 1.2x to 2x faster than GNU gold linker.
+It is about 2x faster than GNU gold linker.
 We aim to make it a drop-in replacement for the GNU linker.

If you really want to show the figures, well, maybe, we can add a section with some charts updated periodically (at each release), but I would refrain from making the statement so general.

I agree that a graph would be better than the number. I don't think saying we are about 2x faster is a bad thing, we can change the tone to make it sound not too strong, but a graph would be more convincing.
