You can install benchstat:

go install golang.org/x/perf/cmd/...@latest

Profiling

go test -run=NONE -bench=^BenchmarkWasmSSR -count=5 -benchmem -cpuprofile cpuprofile.out

go tool pprof cpuprofile.out

Running external code ~=64% of the time, so no optimize will fix the extremelly low performance we are seeing.

Notes

Running on Nix currently does not work (on MacOS at least) due to a strange error!

Running:

CGO_ENABLED=1 go test -v -run ^TestWasmDOM$ github.com/dvcorreia/go-svelte

Gives:

# github.com/dvcorreia/go-svelte.test
/nix/store/8zv2194v9gl0hlx2ac8p91ihnjwdwm6g-go-1.20.10/share/go/pkg/tool/darwin_amd64/link: running clang++ failed: exit status 1
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:

clang-11: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

FAIL    github.com/dvcorreia/go-svelte [build failed]

It works with my Go local install and I don't understand how to fix this with Nix packages.
