[[!template text="and I'd like to talk about it here." start="00:01:21.680" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="This talk is for people who already" start="00:01:26.960" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]

[[!template text="which are owned by somebody else," start="00:02:02.159" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="it should also be helpful. Let's start." start="00:02:04.479" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="First of all, about Emacs and Emacs Lisp." start="00:02:13.520" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="It's not the fastest language." start="00:02:18.640" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="Let's switch to the notes." start="00:02:21.360" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="I hope the font is big enough" start="00:02:26.560" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="to be readable on this video, really hope." start="00:02:31.440" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]

[[!template text="The interpreter is not the fastest one," start="00:02:48.800" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="even though the native compilation branch" start="00:02:51.760" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="is improving on that by twice" start="00:02:54.720" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="in certain scenarios, which is good." start="00:02:59.120" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="The standard library or functions" start="00:03:04.640" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]

[[!template text="are not so uniformly great." start="00:03:12.800" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="So there is some work to be done there." start="00:03:17.599" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="Maybe you can contribute" start="00:03:20.080" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="the next improvement in there." start="00:03:22.239" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="And also, if your package displays stuff," start="00:03:26.640" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="it has a visual component," start="00:03:33.200" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="then you might have to deal with" start="00:03:35.040" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="some drawbacks of the display engine" start="00:03:36.959" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="which might slow to a crawl" start="00:03:43.120" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]

[[!template text="trying to print a long line, for example--" start="00:04:00.319" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="or you are using a lot of overlays," start="00:04:03.120" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="if you know what it is." start="00:04:07.120" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="With lots of overlays" start="00:04:09.120" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="on the same visual line, in particular." start="00:04:12.640" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template new="1" text="But okay. The first thing to understand," start="00:04:19.840" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="and I hope everybody who's done" start="00:04:24.160" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="some programming in the past knows," start="00:04:27.680" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="it's: first you write correctly," start="00:04:29.520" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="and then you try to benchmark." start="00:04:35.120" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="and see where the problems are," start="00:04:37.360" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="if there are any." start="00:04:39.199" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="So first do it right, then do it fast." start="00:04:40.720" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="How do we find the hotspots," start="00:04:45.919" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="the bottlenecks on the second step?" start="00:04:50.720" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="We try to do some profiling" start="00:04:52.400" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="or measuring how long the code takes." start="00:04:54.720" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="Emacs has two different profilers." start="00:04:58.960" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template new="1" text="One is the native profiler," start="00:05:03.039" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="which as I recall was contributed by" start="00:05:05.440" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="Tomohiro Matsuyama, the author" start="00:05:10.639" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="of the autocomplete package" start="00:05:13.280" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="back in Emacs 24.3, apparently." start="00:05:16.240" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="It's a low overhead profiler." start="00:05:22.720" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="It's sampling, which is good on one hand" start="00:05:24.320" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="but might be less good on the other hand." start="00:05:31.520" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="Let's try using it." start="00:05:33.919" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="So we start with profiler-start." start="00:05:35.199" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="Let's just ask for CPU profiling here," start="00:05:40.960" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="but it also can profile memory locations." start="00:05:44.960" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="Let's try a search for some string" start="00:05:48.320" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="in the current project." start="00:05:56.400" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="Let's do it a few times, maybe three times," start="00:06:01.360" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="so the profiler has more data to work with." start="00:06:04.080" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="Let's call the report." start="00:06:09.360" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="Okay. So here we have the tree," start="00:06:13.680" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="the execution tree with percentages" start="00:06:16.960" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="of the time spent in each function." start="00:06:19.360" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="You can unwrap it by going up and down" start="00:06:22.960" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="and pressing TAB to unwrap every element." start="00:06:25.840" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="This is weird." start="00:06:35.039" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="Okay, here we see that the actual command" start="00:06:52.000" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="that was called only takes" start="00:06:55.199" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="8% of the whole runtime," start="00:06:56.639" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="meaning the input was..." start="00:06:59.599" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="The command took not enough time" start="00:07:07.759" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="for us to really dig into it." start="00:07:10.960" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="Let's try a shorter input with more matches." start="00:07:13.360" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="So profiler-start again, CPU." start="00:07:18.960" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="Let's search for list." start="00:07:25.680" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="Don't mind the minibuffer just yet." start="00:07:34.240" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="Okay. So let's look at the report." start="00:07:40.160" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="We can unwrap it here, and we see" start="00:07:47.680" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="52% of the time was spent doing this," start="00:07:52.000" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="at least according to the profile." start="00:07:55.759" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="We can unwrap it, see the description" start="00:07:58.240" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="of any function that was called" start="00:08:00.960" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="by hitting d, or even jump to it" start="00:08:02.800" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="by tapping f." start="00:08:08.479" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="By going down the stream," start="00:08:12.960" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="we unwrap it with TAB," start="00:08:16.160" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="you can see where time was spent." start="00:08:18.240" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="One of the bigger drawbacks" start="00:08:22.400" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="of this profiler is the arithmetics" start="00:08:25.199" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="don't always work out," start="00:08:30.639" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="like you might have..." start="00:08:39.200" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="This is not a good example," start="00:08:45.760" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="but okay, you have 14% spent in here," start="00:08:47.519" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="but when we expand this entry," start="00:08:52.640" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="we only see like 6%, 3%, and 0%." start="00:08:57.200" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="Different sum, sometimes even bigger than that." start="00:09:01.760" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="So the native profiler" start="00:09:06.640" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="can give an accurate picture" start="00:09:10.800" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="and it has little overhead," start="00:09:13.200" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="but the specific numbers" start="00:09:15.920" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="are not very precise" start="00:09:20.399" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="because the principle is probabilistic." start="00:09:22.959" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="Let's stop here." start="00:09:28.640" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]

[[!template text="which is much older than that." start="00:09:39.360" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="It allows us to instrument" start="00:09:43.440" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]

[[!template text="the description of one of the functions" start="00:10:01.360" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]

[[!template text="The main problem with this profiler is" start="00:10:55.040" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="it is slower because it adds overhead" start="00:11:00.079" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
[[!template text="to every function call," start="00:11:04.160" video="mainVideo" id=subtitle]]
