Hi @ptrthomas.bsky.social, I was looking at the karate versus RestAssured page. What about performance between the two? I believe the execution with Karate will be similar as RestAssured even though Karate parses feature files. The network will be the bottleneck. Has anyone done such a "speed test"?
