opt-in performance benchmarking on d.o.
hi all, i've been watching the inspiring work to integrate testing patches against HEAD at testing.drupal.org, and wondering if it would be useful/possible/desirable to have benchmarking integrated into d.o. as well? like the testing stuff, but maybe opt-in? i'd be willing to do some dev/sysadmin work, and i'd hope there would be enough dev resources, but we'd need some hardware dedicated to it. thoughts? suggestions? flames? cheers justin
I think it is an interesting idea and having performance benchmarking hardware available could be quite useful. However, I think it would have to be opt-in at the very least since I think benchmarking really needs to be addressed as a whole instead of on a patch-by-patch basis. I think it also has the potential to bias our work to one particular setup when we know that there are many variations in the stack that can have a big effect on performance (OS, hardware, php versions, Web server, db, etc)
