> In particular, we added new tests that simulate rendering canvas and SVG charts (React Stockcharts, Chart.js, Perf Dashboard, and Observable Plot), code editing (CodeMirror), WYSIWYG editing (TipTap), and reading news sites (Next.js and Nuxt.js).
> We’ve also improved the TodoMVC tests: updating the code to adapt to the most common versions of the most popular frameworks based on data from the the HTTP Archive. The following frameworks and libraries are included: Angular, Backbone, jQuery, Lit, Preact, React, React+Redux, Svelte, and Vue; along with vanilla JavaScript implementations targeting ES5 and ES6, and a Web Components version. We also introduced more complex versions of these tests which are embedded into a bigger DOM tree with many complex CSS rules that more closely emulate the page weight and structure from popular webapps today.
Improving these benchmark results will at least partially make those libraries faster in the real world, and most likely also many additional libraries and workloads.
I'm so happy to see this place is alive and well with the attitude to support a curious mind. What a tosser
But with that nastiness out of the way - I looked back at your original question and thought "seems like the kind of query Kagi would eat for breakfast". Here's what it responded to your question: https://kagi.com/search?q=What%27s+the+quote+about+optimizin...
Specifically, the "what" at the start and the "?" at the end triggered the LLM-powered quick answer at the top (and it passes the smell test for correctness).
To Google's credit, it also returns reasonable results for this question.
To my mind, it means that the metric becoming the main focus, it makes easy to forget the original relevant goal and even works against it. That is not the case here.
