Benchmarking tumblelog on a GMKtec NucBox M6 Ultra

In the evening I timed the building of Plurrrr with tumblelog on a GMKtec NucBox M6 Ultra AMD Ryzen™ 5 7640HS Mini PC with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. I used the time command. For example for the Python version of tumblelog via Docker I got:

real    0m4.389s
user    0m0.012s
sys     0m0.036s

And for the Perl version via Docker I got:

real	0m2.516s
user	0m0.018s
sys     0m0.026s

Both runs include the find command I use to determine the number of days Plurrrr has. At the time of writing this is 1864 day entries in a Markdown file of 3.1M. The tumblelog program generates for Plurrrr, at the time of writing, 3065 HTML pages and 2 feeds. The speed on the GMKtec NucBox is very impressive to me; on my Mac mini late 2014 it takes more than 30 seconds to generate Plurrrr.
