Abimael MartellandClaude Fable 5 e1501efbaa docs: refresh benchmark table with current numbers
Re-ran opendataloader-bench on current main. pdf-inspector improved
across the board since the last table: overall 0.78→0.83, tables
0.59→0.66, headings 0.57→0.74 (competitor rows unchanged). Updated the
prose — heading detection no longer lags opendataloader, and overall is
now within 0.01 of it at ~2.5× the speed.

For context, engines that use OCR/ML (docling, marker, mineru) score 0.83-0.88 overall but take 2-180 minutes on the same corpus.
For context, engines that use OCR/ML (docling, marker, mineru) score 0.83-0.88 overall but take 2-180 minutes on the same corpus — pdf-inspector reaches the low end of that range without any OCR, in 4 seconds.
**Where we do well:** Speed (fastest of all engines), reading order, table detection vs other direct-text tools.
**Where we do well:** Speed (fastest of all engines), the best table detection of any engine shown, and heading detection now on par with opendataloader. Overall lands within 0.01 of opendataloader at roughly 2.5× the speed.
**Where we lag:** Heading detection trails opendataloader — many PDFs use bold text at body font size for headings, or headings that are only slightly larger than body text. Table detection trails OCR-based engines that can see visual table structure.
**Where we lag:** Reading order still trails opendataloader slightly, and table structure trails OCR-based engines that can see visual layout.
