(original) (raw)

Displaying ratios linearly rather than on a log scale axis can be misleading depending on what you are looking for. (feature request: allow a log scale?)

major kudos to everyone involved in getting this setup!

That comment was based on the horizontal layout - the telco benchmark
runs \~53x faster in Python 3 than it does in Python 2 (without
switching to cdecimal), so you end up with all the other benchmarks
being squashed into the leftmost couple of grid cells.
