Response Times Most operations complete in under 20ms, providing a responsive debugging experience: - **Fastest operations**: Tool listing, simple evaluations (~5ms) - **Medium operations**: Resource reads, DOM queries (~10-15ms) - **Slower operations**: Complex React analysis, large data processing (~20-50ms) ### 2. Throughput The server maintains high throughput under load: - **Single operations**: > 50 ops/sec - **Parallel operations**: > 100 ops/sec - **Sustained load**: Stable performance over extended periods ### 3. Memory Usage Memory consumption remains reasonable: - **Base memory**: ~20MB - **Per operation**: < 1MB - **Large data handling**: Efficient streaming and cleanup - **No memory leaks**: Stable over 1000+ operations ### 4. Scalability The server scales well with data size: - **Linear scaling**: Performance scales linearly with data size - **Large collections**: Handles 1000+ items efficiently - **Deep structures**: Processes nested structures without stack overflow ## Optimization Opportunities Based on the benchmarks, potential optimizations include: 1. **Response Caching**: Cache frequently accessed resources - React version info (changes rarely) - DOM structure (invalidate on mutations) - Network request history (append-only) 2. **Batch Operations**: Group multiple CDP calls - Combine domain enables - Batch DOM queries - Aggregate state inspections 3. **Lazy Loading**: Load framework-specific resources on demand - Only load React tools when React detected - Defer state management tools until needed - Progressive resource discovery 4. **Stream Processing**: Stream large data sets instead of buffering - Console messages as event stream - Network requests as they occur - DOM updates as mutations ## Recommendations For optimal performance: 1. **Keep Chrome Debug Sessions Short**: Restart periodically to clear memory - Chrome accumulates memory over time - WebSocket connections can degrade - Fresh sessions ensure peak performance 2. **Use Specific Selectors**: More specific CSS selectors perform better ```javascript // ❌ Slower dom_query_selector({ selector: 'div' }) // ✅ Faster dom_query_selector({ selector: 'div#app-root' }) ``` 3. **Limit Console Buffer**: Configure reasonable buffer sizes ```javascript // Configure in environment CURUPIRA_MAX_CONSOLE_MESSAGES=500 // Default: 1000 ``` 4. **Batch Related Operations**: Group related tool calls ```javascript // ❌ Slower - Sequential calls await evaluate({ expression: 'expr1' }) await evaluate({ expression: 'expr2' }) // ✅ Faster - Batch evaluation await evaluate({ expression: '[expr1, expr2]' }) ``` ## Performance Testing Methodology ### Test Environment - **Hardware**: Standard development machine (8 CPU, 16GB RAM) - **Chrome**: Latest stable version with debugging enabled - **Network**: Local WebSocket connection (no network latency) ### Test Scenarios 1. **Unit benchmarks**: Individual operation performance 2. **Integration benchmarks**: Combined operation flows 3. **Stress tests**: High-frequency and large data handling 4. **Memory tests**: Long-running sessions with leak detection ### Measurement Approach - **Warm-up iterations**: 10 operations before measurement - **Sample size**: 100 iterations per benchmark - **Statistical analysis**: Average, min, max, standard deviation - **Memory profiling**: Before/after with forced GC ## Conclusion Curupira demonstrates excellent performance characteristics suitable for real-time debugging. The server maintains low latency and high throughput while handling large data sets efficiently. Memory usage remains stable over extended periods, indicating good resource management. For typical debugging sessions, users can expect: - Instant response times (< 50ms) - Smooth handling of complex applications - Stable performance over long sessions - Efficient resource utilization The performance profile makes Curupira well-suited for intensive debugging sessions with Claude Code. ## Future Optimizations ### Planned Improvements 1. **WebSocket compression**: Reduce message size for large payloads 2. **Intelligent caching**: Predictive cache warming based on usage patterns 3. **Worker threads**: Offload CPU-intensive operations 4. **Protocol buffers**: Binary encoding for performance-critical paths ### Performance Monitoring - Implement runtime performance tracking - Create performance regression tests - Add performance budgets to CI/CD - Monitor production performance metrics
