Lower is faster. Bars start at zero, each a bright cap on its tool's colour, labelled with its time and its multiple of the baseline. Dashed outline and dashed rule: the baseline, registry.npmjs.org.
Lower is faster; bars start at zero, each a bright cap on its tool's colour. All fixtures: a group per fixture, the tools in leaderboard order, as in the legend; hover a fixture to read each by name. Each fixture: its tools fastest first, each labelled with its time. A tool is drawn on every fixture it finished; a failed run is named, not drawn. The legend shows and hides tools everywhere on the page. Dashed outline and dashed rule: the baseline, registry.npmjs.org.
