the birth of a faster monkey (16)
on Planet Mozilla (501) permalinkOver the past year, JavaScript performance on the web has undergone a striking revolution.

For example, the clustering/clouds don't really seem like the best representation of data - they feel very cluttered. Overall, they're worth watching and present some interesting ideas.
