Excited to have spent some time building this inlining detection. Will come soon with an example use case showing how to leverage this new feature 🤓

Runs just got 2 minutes faster! - Changelog - CodSpeed GitHub Action setup now uses caching to skip redundant package installations, reducing CI time by 1-5 minutes per run.

It's Friday, and all your @codspeed.io runs got 2 minutes faster😎👇

Excited to have it out! 🎉 This is just the first step toward adaptive instrumentation: get an overview with wall-time profiling, then zoom in with CPU simulation or other instruments to reach instruction-level detail.
This also edges us nearer to real-world sampling in production 👀

If you ship Go services and care about latency and cost, this will save you time and nasty surprises in prod!

What’s inside:
- Bench patterns that actually measure your handlers, not the harness
- A tiny DummyResponseWriter to kill recorder overhead
- b.Loop() usage with Go 1.24
- Ready-to-use GitHub Action with CodSpeed and codspeed-macro runners
- PR comments + checks to block regressions before merge

But physics is catching up. As transistors shrink, heat and power constraints limit clock speed gains. But to keep Moore’s Law going, we stack more cores. GPUs push this further with thousands of parallel cores, mentioning exponential performance increase but omitting the implementation complexity.

Single-core performance gains have largely plateaued. That means no more relying on “free” hardware speed boosts. CPUs haven't stopped improving, but we must actively tap into new architectures. Concurrency, SIMD, and thoughtful optimizations can still unlock impressive speedups.

We can expect the same for most compiled languages. Though, when dealing with an interpreted language, this becomes much harder to optimize before any specialization or JIT compilation.

`x * x` generates exactly the same assembly as `x.pow(2)` in Rust and this goes even beyond powers of 2, thanks to LLVM loop unrolling and exponentiation by squaring.

CodSpeed showing PR performance improvements between 38% for frozen class to 52% for make_class.

https://codspeed.io is pretty cool and class creation will be 38–52% faster in attrs 25.2.0

So for VM bytecode instrumentation, external execution path like native FFI calls need specific handling. Just like system calls need specific handing for performance measurement with native binary instrumentation.

The big issue with such an approach is that the instrumentation is limited to the interpreter itself while for native binary instrumentation the boundary is system calls and only the user space can be instrumented.

Kudos to Nikolai Vazquez for building such an intuitive benchmarking framework. We hope to contribute as much as we can to the project!

Yes. First time but it was quite simple getting started

Started hacking on a small TUI for managing EC2 instances and SSH connections. Can’t wait to ditch AWS Console's clunkiness.
