Criterion benches for the TUI's hot paths, so the planned data-layout and architectural changes have numbers to compare against. Synthetic fixtures, no network access.

Bench Measures
filter filter_items and FilterableTable::set_items at 100 / 1k / 10k DAGs; no filter, primary filter, owner+tag filter
sync App::sync_panel for the DAG, DAG-run and task-instance panels
logs update_logs, one scroll step, and a /ERROR search at 64 KiB / 1 MiB / 16 MiB, driven through Model::update
render One draw_ui frame per panel into ratatui's TestBackend at 220×60

The render bench asserts the frame contains the panel's data before measuring. draw_ui shows a splash screen for the first ten ticks and needs the theme initialised; without the check it measured an empty frame.

Indicative numbers from short runs:

100 1 000 10 000
frame/Dag 1.4 ms 3.4 ms 27.7 ms
sync_panel/Dag 0.11 ms 1.06 ms 5.8 ms (5k)

A frame is linear in item count although only ~55 rows are visible.

cargo bench                 # or: make bench
cargo bench --bench render

benches/README.md covers critcmp comparisons. cargo clippy --all-targets compiles the benches, so CI catches breakage without running them. criterion is a dev-dependency with default features off.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores

    • Added a make bench command for running the project’s performance benchmarks.
    • Expanded benchmark coverage for filtering, synchronization, log handling, and screen rendering.
    • Benchmarks now use synthetic, offline data for more consistent and network-independent results.
    • Simplified benchmark execution and comparison workflows.
  • Documentation

    • Updated benchmark documentation with current benchmark groups, commands, and baseline comparison guidance.

Headless benches with synthetic data for the TUI's hot paths: filtering,
sync_panel, log ingest/scroll/search, one full frame per panel into
ratatui's TestBackend, and DAG-list decoding. A counting global allocator
backs an allocation-count measurement so allocs/ groups report heap
allocations per iteration alongside the timing groups.

The render bench asserts that the panel actually shows its data, since
draw_ui renders the splash screen for the first ten ticks.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a make bench target, updates benchmark documentation, introduces filtering and log benchmarks, consolidates synchronization benchmarks, and removes allocation-counting infrastructure. Shared fixtures now use simpler synthetic data defaults.

Changes

Benchmark suite

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared offline fixtures
benches/common/mod.rs
Provides synthetic Airflow fixtures, offline App construction, and panel navigation. Removes allocation-counting support and simplifies fixture fields.
Filtering and panel synchronization benchmarks
benches/filter.rs, benches/sync.rs
Adds filtering benchmarks and consolidates panel synchronization measurements across panel types and dataset sizes.
Log and rendering benchmarks
benches/logs.rs, benches/render.rs
Adds log ingestion, scrolling, and search benchmarks. Keeps frame-rendering measurements and removes allocation benchmarks.
Benchmark commands and documentation
Makefile, benches/README.md
Adds make bench and documents benchmark execution, baseline comparison, and Clippy compilation checks.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e64ec

This adds offline TUI performance benchmarks, but the log scrolling benchmark can produce misleading results after scrolling reaches the bottom of a fixture. Resolve the per-sample state reset before relying on these measurements.

60-61: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Separate allocation instrumentation from wall-time benchmark binaries.

filter, sync, logs, and render run AllocCount and default timing groups in binaries that install CountingAlloc. decode installs it for its timing group. Each timed alloc or realloc executes ALLOCS.fetch_add, so allocation differences can bias wall-time comparisons. Remove CountingAlloc from timing binaries and keep it only in separate allocation-count binaries.

Initialize each LogModel away from the lower boundary before measuring Down.

Both benchmarks start in ScrollMode::Following, so model_with(bytes) already places the model at the bottom. Reusing the model then measures boundary handling, and creating a fresh model alone has the same result. Initialize each iteration at a non-boundary position before measuring one KeyCode::Down event.
