<Resend. I seem to have typed [email protected] last time. sorry Miguel.>
I'd like to change what is displayed on the speed.python.org frontpage. Right now, as I look at http://speed.pypy.org/ I see, under a section called 'latest results' a list of all the recent times when we became slower. It's thus a 'recent problems' page -- we have actually improved in recent times in many areas, and nowhere is that shown. As we go off to PyCON, which is March 9-17, I intend to mention how great PyPy is, and that you can see it for yourself at speed.pypy.org. Thus, without lying, I would like it if the first impression of PyPy's speed that people got when looking at the site was 'we're getting faster'. Do you think you could change the front page so that what was displayed was more balanced with respect to good news and bad news? I realise that there is nothing you can do if we make a recent build that slows everything down, but for instance in build 42312:392b (Feb 26) we have improvments which are not shown on the main page. I actually think that the _trend_ is a more useful thing to display on the front page, though that might be because it is so green right now. :-) The other thing I want is for the graphs you get, for instance with http://speed.pypy.org/changes/?rev=42312:392bbf936179&exe=%203&env=tannit to have, in addition to the selection button beside: 'result for revision' an actual label that says 'build 42312:392b' or something that you can select with your mouse and use to paste into things like this mail article. It would also be useful to label the run with something more meaningful than 'tannit' for outsiders -- 64 bit ubuntu linux for instance. Thanks very much, Laura Creighton _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
