Debug: Console feels janky on high frequency output

[joaomoreno]

Running our selfhost unit tests seems much slower than running it in a terminal. Hypothesis: tree isn't performing well enough for this scenario. We might need a specialized tree API for this.

Assignign to October so we look into this next milestone.

[joaomoreno]

Actually forget about this.... it's actually as fast as on the terminal... it's the perceived performance which sucks since rendering is debounced and everything feels sluggish.

[isidorn]

Maybe I can decrease the debounce time.
Or we can test the limits of the tree and I no longer de-bounce

[joaomoreno]

I think you're gonna have to keep the debounce since the current approach is still refresh(root). We're basically O(n^3) right now. If we add some tree API for you to simply append children then we can reduce the whole thing to O(n).

[isidorn]

I do not think we do not plan to do anything this milestone.
When we add new tree api we can look into simply adopting that api in the debug console.
Anyways pushing to backlog.

Closing as out of scope, and we can reopen if we ever get passionate about this
