Description

Does this feature exist in Emacs orgmode core?

Feature value

The idea of this is to see which change introduced how much performance cost. Ideally, we can already see that something is hitting performance before it gets merged into master. Also, it's nice for performance-oriented refactoring.

I was thinking of a github action that will run a series of performance benchmarks on each commit (or PR?). Ideally, the result will be displayed in the UI. If that's not possible, one can look it up as a log in the github runner.

The master branch gets special treatment. Each benchmark is appended to a master performance-list we have stored somewhere™. Fancy graphs incoming.

Not sure how volatile the performance of github runners is though, that might be an issue.

Research direction

No files, tests, or benchmark entry points are identified. Start by locating any existing performance benchmarks and CI workflows, then determine how benchmark results could be recorded for commits and pull requests. Done means a documented, repeatable workflow compares results and preserves a performance history.
