Protip:

When designing a user interface, imagine some old woman using it, say Margaret Hamilton, and she's clicking your app's buttons and saying to you, as old people do,

"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes

I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."

@er1n this is both one of my biggest agony points in UI design and one reason I haven't released SotF :P I can lag it in some cases and it really bugs me because I can't figure out why, not even with flame graphs and profiler timelines

@LottieVixen @ninjawedding @er1n profiler output visualization tool, helps you see what functions and system calls your program is spending the most time on

this, or similar (like what erin linked) :

@cascode @LottieVixen @ninjawedding the difference with what i posted is that it's very good for monitoring infrequent events
