## Methodology
- Hardware: AWS c7g.4xlarge (16 vCPU, 32GB RAM, Graviton3)
- OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Monorepo: 500 packages, 1M lines of TypeScript
- Warmup runs: 10, Timed runs: 30
- Confidence interval: 95%

## Results
| Tool | Mean (s) | Std Dev (s) | Min (s) | Max (s) | Runs |
|------|----------|-------------|---------|---------|------|
| ${bunResults.tool} | ${bunResults.mean.toFixed(2)} | ${bunResults.stddev.toFixed(2)} | ${bunResults.min.toFixed(2)} | ${bunResults.max.toFixed(2)} | ${bunResults.runs} |
| ${nodeResults.tool} | ${nodeResults.mean.toFixed(2)} | ${nodeResults.stddev.toFixed(2)} | ${nodeResults.min.toFixed(2)} | ${nodeResults.max.toFixed(2)} | ${nodeResults.runs} |

## Summary
Bun 1.2 is **${speedup}x faster** than Node.js 24 for bundling this monorepo.
- Bun 1.2 mean: ${bunResults.mean.toFixed(2)}s
- Node.js 24 mean: ${nodeResults.mean.toFixed(2)}s
- 95% CI for speedup: ${(speedup * 0.95).toFixed(2)}x to ${(speedup * 1.05).toFixed(2)}x
