fastbench  

The simplest benchmark you can run on node

Install

npm install fastbench

Usage

'use strict'

var bench = require('fastbench')

var run = bench([
  function benchSetTimeout (done) {
    setTimeout(done, 0)
  },
  function benchSetImmediate (done) {
    setImmediate(done)
  },
  function benchNextTick (done) {
    process.nextTick(done)
  }
], 1000)

// run them two times
run(run)

Output:

benchSetTimeout*1000: 1363ms
benchSetImmediate*1000: 4ms
benchNextTick*1000: 1ms
benchSetTimeout*1000: 1365ms
benchSetImmediate*1000: 4ms
benchNextTick*1000: 0ms

You can disable colors by passing a --no-color flag to your node script.

API

bench(functions, iterations)

Build a benchmark for the given functions and that precise number of iterations. It returns a function to run the benchmark.

The iterations parameter can also be an Object, in which case it acceps two options:

• iterations: the number of iterations (required)
• max: is a an alias for iterations
