Compile Times benchmark

Note, that these numbers may fluctuate on the CI servers, so take them with a grain of salt. All benchmark results are based on the mean time and negative percent mean faster than the base branch. Note, that GLMakie + WGLMakie run on an emulated GPU, so the runtime benchmark is much slower. Results are from running:

using_time = @ctime using Backend
# Compile time
create_time = @ctime fig = scatter(1:4; color=1:4, colormap=:turbo, markersize=20, visible=true)
display_time = @ctime Makie.colorbuffer(display(fig))
# Runtime
create_time = @benchmark fig = scatter(1:4; color=1:4, colormap=:turbo, markersize=20, visible=true)
display_time = @benchmark Makie.colorbuffer(display(fig))

We still support JPG though!

[jkrumbiegel]

Really? I remember removing conversions for that a long time ago in CairoMakie

[SimonDanisch]

Yup, we have a fallback in Makie.jl :D

[SimonDanisch]

Should we only remove bmp and leave jpg for now?

[jkrumbiegel]

Maybe I'm pedantic in that way, but jpg is just not a good format for thin lines etc., we all know what the block artifacts look like. So I'm not really for keeping it. bmp is ok but just makes huge files.

[SimonDanisch]

Well, we don't only offer thin line plots, and it's basically free to offer jpg... So I don't see the harm ;)
But I guess anyone can still do save("plot.jpg", colorbuffer(fig)), so, i guess it could be ok to remove it entirely...

[jkrumbiegel]

Yeah, either way, it doesn't matter that much
