What's the best way to benchmark perf optimizations in JavaScript. I see lot of articles like this with no time and memory usage stats. I would like to hear an answer from someone who has experience using gdb or visual studio while studying performance. Whenever I use the chrome debugger to time anything involving async calls and recursion I have this uncomfortable feeling I am not getting it right. With gdb or visual studio C/C# I always feel like I know what is going on.
