Performance Tuning Secrets
summary
Browser-side profiling uses concrete tools and measurable claims: Chrome tracing and the DevTools flame chart expose thread-by-thread timings, the Telemetry framework automates timeline captures, and the chrome tracing view plus FPS meter reveal render vs JavaScript bottlenecks. V8 logs and plot-timer events show GC (scavenger vs compactor) and optimized vs deoptimized code; automated traces plus 600 fps camera video quantify rendering latency (keypress-to-paint delays). Real app data comes from projects like 100,000 lines of JavaScript Brackets and Topcoat; these techniques work and locate actionable bottlenecks.
