rg: don't embellish performance

ripgrep is fast, but no non-toy search tool is going to be faster in
every case. It's better to be a bit more reserved instead of spreading
misinformation about the performance of a tool. It may be an obvious
embellishment, but plenty of people will take it seriously.

In general, I think we should encourage spreading the nuance in the
trade offs of our tools as opposed to hyping them.

 ## Cheat Sheet
 
 > Ripgrep (`rg`) is smart. It's like grep if grep were built for code. It
-> respects `.gitignore` and `.ignore`, has all of the sensible options you want
-> (colors, numbers, etc) turned on by default, is written in Rust, and simply
-> outperforms grep in every imaginable way.

 ```bash
 rg <search-term> # searches recursively, ignoring .git, node_modules, etc
