The addition of collisional fragmentation can quickly generate hundreds or thousands of new bodies in a short time period, creating further computational challenges for traditional \textit{n}-body integrators. As a result, enhancing computational performance was a key aspect of the development of 'Swiftest'. Here we show a comparison between the performance of 'Swift', 'Swifter-OMP' (a parallel version of 'Swifter'), and 'Swiftest' on simulations with 1k, 2k, 4k, 8k, and 16k fully interacting bodies. The number of CPUs dedicated to each run is varied from 1 to 24 to test the parallel performance of each program. -Figure \autoref{fig:performance} shows the results of this performance test. We can see that 'Swiftest' outperforms 'Swifter-OMP' and 'Swift' in each simulation set, even when run in serial. When run in parallel, 'Swiftest' shows a significant performance boost when the number of bodies is increased. The improved performance of 'Swiftest' compared to 'Swifter-OMP' and 'Swift' is a critical step forward in \textit{n}-body modeling, providing a powerful tool for modeling the dynamical evolution of planetary systems. +\autoref{fig:performance} shows the results of this performance test.
