F~(list1, ` $`, list2); # space-dollarsign

However, it appears that in practice, using `~`
can be faster than its equivalent zip
version.
Here is a typical test:

But I cannot find any explanations in the documentation (as well as What is Maple's equivalent to Mathematica's MapThread?). Does anyone know why?
