Feedjira Benchmarks

This project contains the benchmarks used to ensure Feedjira stays fast.

Running the Benchmarks

Its important for benchmarks to be repeatable and verifiyable by another party. Getting setup to run the benchmarks requires that you first clone down this repo and then also clone down the feedjira one:

$ git clone git://github.com/feedjira/feedjira-benchmarks
$ cd feedjira-benchmarks
$ git clone git://github.com/feedjira/feedjira

This will give you a directory structure like this:

feedjira-benchmarks
|-- feed_xml
|-- feedjira
|-- fetch
|-- others
+-- parse

Next bundle to grab the project's requirements.

Lastly, producing the charts does rely on having R installed. If you're on a Mac, this should work:

$ brew tap homebrew/science
$ brew install r

Running the parse benchmark

This benchmark is run against each version of the gem - run it like this:

$ parse/run

This command will output three files:

  • parse/results.txt - the raw numbers from the benchmark
  • parse/results.csv - the totals from the raw numbers in CSV
  • parse/parse-benchmark.png - that CSV converted to chart form

Running the fetching benchmark

This benchmark compares the speeds of various fetching options - run it like this:

$ fetch/run

This command will output three files:

  • fetch/results.txt - the raw numbers from the benchmark
  • fetch/results.csv - the totals from the raw numbers in CSV
  • fetch/fetch-benchmark.png - that CSV converted to chart form

Running the others benchmark

This benchmark compares Feedjira with other Ruby feed libraries in terms of parse speed:

$ others/run

This command will output three files:

  • others/results.txt - the raw numbers from the benchmark
  • others/results.csv - the totals from the raw numbers in CSV
  • others/others-benchmark.png - that CSV converted to chart form
