All six at 1,000 rules.
Run of 2026-10-19: Apple M5, Chromium 156 via Playwright 1.64, production builds, no CPU throttling. Medians of fresh pages (5 to 9 per size); the tree is 10 fields in groups of 10 rules. JS is gzipped and excludes React for React libraries (jQuery is included). Lower is better. The harness, its method and every size.
How to choose.
