Performance
Understand the benchmark story, analysis model, and tuning options for large TypeScript codebases.
Benchmarks
Representative local runs against pinned fixtures show Codescythe focusing on files and exports with a smaller runtime profile than broader project-audit tooling.
Run the same harness locally with pnpm benchmark or target one fixture with pnpm benchmark:kibana.
Analysis Model
Codescythe discovers the project file set, parses files in parallel graph-frontier batches from configured entries, and avoids framework-plugin discovery.
Tuning
Use CODESCYTHE_PARSE_THREADS to tune parse parallelism. RAYON_NUM_THREADS is respected when the Codescythe-specific variable is unset.
CODESCYTHE_PARSE_THREADS=8 npx codescythe --json --config codescythe.jsoncRepeatable Runs
For stable cleanup automation, keep config checked in, run the same command locally and in CI, and rerun after fix mode because deletions can expose additional unused code.
