Shouldn’t performance testing be a part of any standard change process for a distribution? You can hide in the code, but you can’t hide from the laws of physics.


Please no..

You can find some computation to optimize just like you can find memory to compact, so getting caught was largely not believing performance was going to be part of the test..

But if you aren't in it for ulterior motives, you have predictive branching, etc, so your performance loss may be in the imagination of a CPU designer with a wrong idea of typical that strangely coincides with a uniquely written benchmark..


I thought about this quite a lot and feel like it's super important as well. Often, having the proper infrastructure/tools/resources to automate performance testing is hard. I created codspeed.io to try and fix that.


You have a typo with “elligible” should be eligible.

Also, on mobile why do I have to scroll to the bottom of the page to find your pricing page? Why do you not have a menu, like most websites?


Thanks for reporting the typo. Menu will be there soon.
