Click a link, help a worthy cause

April 4, 2007 on 5:26 pm | In ajax |

Frequent readers will recall that, a few months ago, I built a performance instrumentation package which supported the collection and aggregation of performance metrics from inside an end user’s browser. Timings are communicated up to a Rails app at aelite.ajaxperformance.com and graphed client side using the Dojo Chart widget.

A couple of the Dojo developers are interested in using this technique to compare the performance of Dojo Chart on different browsers. Loading this page in your browser will time the performance of rendering a chart within your browser. To contribute to our cross-browser analysis, just hit that link in Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, or a recent WebKit nightly (sorry, the stable Safari build is not yet supported). We are looking to get a decent sample size across real browsers, so feel free to hit that link repeatedly from every browser you have over the next few days. Tell your friends! It’s fun for the whole family!

Once we have a decent sample size, I’ll post a report on the relative performance of each browser.

Thanks for your help!

  1. [...] Ryan setup a test page that you can click on, that will measure the performance. The more diverse a group we can get the better, so give it a shot and take a peak at what they are seeing. Ryan is going to dissect the results once he has a nice sample size. [...]

  2. [...] A couple weeks ago I posted a request for clicks to a Dojo Chart benchmark in the hopes of determining the relative performance of SVG (or VML, in the case of IE) engines across browsers. Thanks to your help (and special thanks to a link from our good friends at Ajaxian), we have a couple thousand data points to work with. That’s enough volume to start drawing some statistically relevant conclusions, so let’s dig into the numbers. [...]
