Description
It would be extremely cool if we could get a Leap API that would start recording performance metrics and one to stop it so that we could take extremely precise performance metric data in a relatively standardized way.
I'm picturing (for the API) something like:
{pump: 'Performance', data: {op: 'startRecording', filename: '/performance/metric/path'}}
For starting it and
{pump: 'Performance', data: {op: 'stopRecording'}}
and for the actual file I'm picturing something like:
{"timestamp": <time1>, "fps": <sample1>}
{"timestamp": <time2>, "fps": <sample2>}
{"timestamp": <time3>, "fps": <sample3>}
{"timestamp": <time4>, "fps": <sample4>}
Theoretically this structure could also be used to handle other metrics the viewer has internally; things like vram, memory usage, cpu usage, etc... would probably be stuff viewers would probably also want in such a tool.
Test Plan
Run these leap APIs and see if they report metrics correctly.
