Color for time #9

Open ai opened 8 years ago

ai commented 8 years ago

We should highligh plugin and file time in different colors — green for the fastest and red to the slowest

@ai Yeap 👍

True. I also thought about that, but there are some detail issues:

Do we color by

relative time (slowest/fastest for current file)
relative time (slowest/fastest for all files)
absolute time (let's say everything < 5ms is green, > 10ms is red, color gradient for 5ms < time < 10ms ) ?

I guess a good solution would have to consider all three metrics, but only show one combined color.

PS: I just had an idea. I don't know if it's good or rather not, so I will just post it here:

We could ask the user for permission once and then sent simple anonymized benchmark reports to some server to gather statistics about the most popular postcss plugins and their performance benchmarks.

@andywer I think relative time (slowest/fastest for current file) And collection statistics this good idea

ai commented 8 years ago

I think realtive time is fine too. Because the main purpose of coloring is to find slowest plugins and optimize them.

There should probably be an absolute cutoff though, like less than 5 or 10 ms is always green, right?
