Local OCR Comparison: dots.ocr More Accurate, DeepSeek-OCR 2 Faster (Sparrow + MLX)

I run local tests with Sparrow to compare DeepSeek OCR2 and dots.ocr (by RedNote), both run on MLX-VLM in FP16 precision. Dots.ocr consistently beats DeepSeek OCR2 in accuracy, but DeepSeek OCR2 deliveres much better inference performance.
