Benchmarks and the information they provide are important to ensure that changes going into Node.js don't regress key attributes like startup speed, memory footprint and throughput. Come and hear about some of the fundamentals of benchmarking, how to go about narrowing down the cause of a regression between versions of node along with the efforts underway in the community benchmarking workgroup (https://github.com/nodejs/benchmarking) to run/capture/report and act on benchmark information.
