Some utils are faster already, and they are working on cp and mv progress bars. From the fosdem 2023 presentation: https://sylvestre.ledru.info/presentations/coreutils-fosdem-... == Example #1: $ hyperfine -r 10 \ "target/release/coreutils sort -R shakespeare.txt > shakespeare.txt.rand; \ target/release/coreutils sort shakespeare.txt.rand > /dev/null" \ "sort -R shakespeare.txt > shakespeare.txt.rand; \ sort shakespeare.txt > /dev/null" é [...] Summary 'target/release/coreutils sort -R shakespeare.txt > shakespeare.txt.rand; target/release/coreutils sort shakespeare.txt.rand > /dev/null' ran 4.63 ± 0.19 times faster than 'sort -R shakespeare.txt > shakespeare.txt.rand; sort shakespeare.txt > /dev/null' To be fair, we can be slower too Example #3: $ hyperfine "seq 18446744073708551615 18446744073709551615 | factor" \ "./tar
