 ### Longer strings and many patterns
 
-This benchmark matches ~4,000 patterns against 10,000 lines of text (each ~700 characters long).
-Each line matches either zero or one pattern.
+This benchmark matches ~4,000 patterns against lines of text that are ~700 characters long.
+Each line matches either zero (90%) or one pattern (10%).
 
 Higher is better; `ahocorasick_rs` is much faster in both cases.

 ### Shorter strings and few patterns
 
-This benchmarks matches ~10 patterns against 10,000 lines of shorter text (~70 characters).
+This benchmarks matches ~10 patterns against lines of text that are ~70 characters long.
 Each line matches ~5 patterns.
 
 Higher is better; `ahocorasick_rs` is faster for longest match, slightly slower for overlapping matches.
