# coroutines

[CRamsan]

Hello everyone. Some people in my team asked me for some performance numbers between coroutines and RxJava so I wrote this little app to measure performance between the two.

I hope this is useful for people here. But the gist of what I found is that Coroutines can be a bit slower compared to Rx. But RxJava memory consumption is much higher. For me, this is another strong argument for coroutines.

You should look into androidx benchmark if you are collecting benchmark metrics

Don't you mean kotlinx.benchmark? androidx obviously sounds android specific

[Paul Woitaschek]

As you have written the benchmark in an Android App your benchmark is android specific

[mcpiroman]

Oh ok, the repo is android too.
