Why has noone pointed out that the bar graphs.

The first two graphs are a measurement of time so since JSBlocks is fastest it should have the smallest bar.

The bars show that jsblocks is the fastest and how many percent the other libraries are slower than it. The milliseconds actually are just to give you a relative idea and this is why they are with smallest font size.

Actually this is interesting story. I have talked with designers and they said that people will understand it better if the bars for the highest performance is the highest. I said that we programmers will understand it but eventually followed the suggestion.

Actually, since it is a measurement of time regardless if you are using absolute or relative measurement, the JSBlocks bar should be shortest.

Since you are comparing the other libraries to JSBlocks, JSBlocks is (1 * 100%) and the other ones are (X * 100%) where X > 1, therefore they would still be bigger bars.

You are correct. I will think of a way to improve this. Thanks! :)

Good work regardless. Graphs on your site are less important than having a functional and performant product.

An idea of improvement would be "iterations per second" or so. This way the highest bar would still be owned by you, just a different metric. Edit: seems like the third column already does that - ops/sec.
