PANSCOUT BENCHMARKS
What PANScout scanned, and how long it took.
These results come from the packaged Linux command line and cover the complete path from discovering files to saving masked findings and producing JSON and HTML reports.
NON-OCR SCANNING
Three file workloads, measured end to end.
Each workload ran three times with new scan state and report files. The table shows the median and the complete observed range.
| Workload | Source corpus | Median | Observed range | Throughput |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Many small filesFile-discovery and per-file processing across TXT, CSV, JSON and XML. | 20,000 files 78.1 MiB | 43.41 seconds | 33.59 seconds to 45.41 seconds | 460.7 files/s |
| Large structured filesSustained scanning throughput across large TXT, CSV, JSON and XML files. | 12 files 384.0 MiB | 8.36 seconds | 8.33 seconds to 8.38 seconds | 45.9 MiB/s |
| Mixed business filesStructured data, text, Office documents and supported archives in one corpus. | 1,100 files 41.1 MiB | 4.01 seconds | 3.97 seconds to 4.19 seconds | 274.3 files/s |
Median throughput is calculated from the physical source corpus. Compressed and Office files may contain more extracted content than their source size suggests.
OCR MEASURED SEPARATELY
Images and image-only PDFs have their own result.
OCR processing depends on image size, quality and document complexity, so it is kept separate from ordinary file scanning.

HOW PERFORMANCE IS MEASURED
The complete customer workflow, not an isolated detector.
- 01Discover the selected files
Walk the target folders and identify every source included in the workload.
- 02Inspect and record the result
Run PANScout detection, retain masked findings and record a completed outcome for every file.
- 03Produce usable evidence
Write the JSON result and generate the complete HTML evidence report before the timer stops.
