This was a chance to talk about other things I've been working on, such as the present and future of hardware performance. The video is on [youtube]: The slides are [here] or as a [PDF]: first prev next last / permalink/zoom I work on many areas of performance, but recently I've had a lot of demand to talk about BPF.

Google founders figured out smart ways to rank websites by analyzing their connection patterns and using that information to improve the relevance of search results. It enables unbounded scalability as more commodity or specialized hardware can be seamlessly added to existing clusters. Back in the days of Web 1.0,

From outright misstatements about a competitor's security, to claims that performance differences in hardware show Safari is faster, to [geographic brinksmanship](/2022/02/minimum-standards/), the confident bluster hasn't gone down particularly well. This was all considered at length. And yet, Apple continued to apply stop-energy.

HTML, CSS, images, and fonts can all be parsed and run at near wire speeds on low-end hardware, but JavaScript is at least three times more expensive, byte-for-byte. decoding="async" loading="lazy" /> Google spent more on the SoC for the Pixel 4a and enjoyed a later launch date, boosting performance relative to the A51.

We now have everything we need to create a ballpark perf budget for a product in 2017. Maybe "ambush by JS"? 75% of of connections occur on either 2G or 3G. First Load.

On the other hand, we have hardware constraints on memory and CPU due to JavaScript parsing times (we’ll talk about them in detail later). Gatsby.js (React), Preact CLI , and PWA Starter Kit provide reasonable defaults for fast loading out of the box on average mobile hardware. Image credit: Addy Osmani ) ( Large preview ).
