Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Any Tips for Reversing x86 C++ Decryption Functions?
OOAnalyzer is wonderful for recovering class/function information C++ that makes manual vtable/RTTI perusing relatively moot. I ultimately installed it along with the rest of Pharos on Linux and it was a couple days of figuring before I got things running.

Decompiling with AI is going to be revolutionary
Something that could be viable is e.g. learning the heuristics in a tool like https://github.com/cmu-sei/pharos instead of hand-crafting them. More coarse information like function partitioning, is this function a constructor etc.

Is taking the ASM dump from Ida pro after human correction a good way to re-write the software from scratch?
That's why I eventually started looking for a more automated approach like https://github.com/cmu-sei/pharos.

Analysis of large binaries and games in Ghidra-SRE
I recently started analysing a game with Ghidra. I found the plugin mentioned was actually fairly useless in my case (but this was version 9, maybe things have changed), instead I used OOAnalyzer [1] and its associated Ghidra plugin - great for bootstrapping a class hierarchy, which is otherwise extremely tedious to do. It took 24 hours and ~100GB of memory, so I ran it on AWS, splitting the analysis in parts according to [2]. Also I’d recommend looking into scripting, it can save you a lot of time in repetitive scenarios.

Pharos\OOAnalyzer - how long is it supposed to run?
There's no reason to be alarmed just because you've been running for 14 hours and using 11gb of ram. But you should make sure you're not running out of ram. You should also absolutely be following the step-by-step guide which you already found. You don't want to have to restart from scratch if something goes wrong.
