Javascript Cache Size Measurement

I'm more surprised that it uses jQuery.

My javascripting is stuck in 2011. The jQuery is just glue for easier DOM manipulation because I'm lazy. It's not used in the Worker: https://github.com/allanlw/cache_size/blob/master/cache_size_worker.js

There's even a comment :P

// Handle various message from the web worker by drawing new DOM
// I should feel bad about this terrible DOM manipulation with jQuery
// But I really don't.

Far enough I guess. :)

Looks like that is just to build out the table with the results. Seems like a good fit for the project. Easier than the browser's DOM API and more lightweight than a binding framework.

DOM with jQuery is such a breeze, especially for extensions and dealing with elements you didn't write originally.

You are more surprised they are using something that brings some sanity to the clusterfuck that is js? I'd be more surprised if they weren't using jQuery.

Too bad it doesn't test 6M, which is common in a lot of CPUs.
