Printing ratios by default?

Open porterchild opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Because humans brains are what they are, I think relative performance of benchmarked items may be more important than the absolute time for a lot of situations.

"X is 3x faster than Y" has instant interpretability for a human brain, where "X took 1449 nanoseconds and Y took 4,347 nanoseconds" has the meaningful interpretation one step removed.

Would a PR to print the relative ratios of benchmarked items by default be well received? I don't mean getting rid of any of the metrics currently printed, just adding ratios.
