Help me benchmarking Gulp VS Grunt! A summary of the results will be published on my blog (http://www.insertafter.com/blog.html).
#!/bin/bash
# Install the project
git clone git@github.com:ChtiJS/chtijs.francejs.org chtijs
cd chtijs
# Testing the Grunt build
git checkout master
npm install --quiet
time for a in {1..10}; do grunt dist; done
# Copy paste the result as in a comment to this gist formatted as in the first comment
# Testing the Gulp build
git checkout gulp
npm install --quiet
# in the buffer mode
time for a in {1..10}; do gulp build --prod; done
# in the stream mode
time for a in {1..10}; do gulp build --prod --stream; done
# Copy paste the result as in a comment to this gist formatted as in the first comment
### Note ###
# The full potential of stream mode isn't revealed by those tests since there
# is several plugins that do not support streaming yet

Grunt

real 0m23.114s
user 0m19.746s
sys 0m1.449s

gulp (buffer mode)

real 0m29.038s
user 0m25.953s
sys 0m1.503s

gulp (stream mode)

real 0m16.144s
user 0m15.147s
sys 0m1.108s

PS : For the record, I got some errors while running the benchmark

  • gulp.env has been deprecated for gulp in general (I'm using 3.5.2, you actually just need to replace gulp.env with gulp-util.env)
  • streams not supported for Browserify for gulp in stream mode

Ok, new benchmarks are irrelevant since the 2 branches diverged now. Thanks for the intent :).
