See how we track and obsess about Firefox performance.

It looks really cool. I may have missed it, but it seems to be lacking the comparison aspect of arewefastyet.com (ie - missing chrome/safari data).

I'm not sure how portable this is to other projects, but it reminds me of http://speed.pypy.org, which is open source https://github.com/tobami/codespeed.

We only have Firefox data there right now, but the backend that receives test results is a simple HTTP POST so it'd be easy to start publishing results there (the front-end just queries the list of tests, so it'd show these in the "add data" dialog automatically).

Also, arewefastyet.com only tracks JS engine performance, so for the full set of tests we'd need to instrument the other browsers (and make sure it was done in a way which is fair and equitable), so that might take some doing. It's a good idea though, I'll see what we can get going in short order.

arewefastyet.com was a one-off put together by the JS team for their own use, it just ended up being very popular so we're trying to absorb ideas from it into the existing test infrastructure.

Also, thanks for the pypy link - looks very nice, will check it out further.

Also, perf-o-matic is of course open source as well ;) https://github.com/rhelmer/graphs
