```
benchmark           old ns/op       new ns/op       delta
BenchmarkHugo-4     14497594101     13084156335     -9.75%

benchmark           old allocs     new allocs     delta
BenchmarkHugo-4     57404335       48282002       -15.89%

benchmark           old bytes       new bytes      delta
BenchmarkHugo-4     9933505624      9721984424     -2.13%
```
