Apr 1, 2025April 2025 performance and stability focus for GreenBankObservatory/dysh. Delivered a robust benchmarking framework and performance experiments, including DTime-based timing, timers, datasets, and initial benchmarking notes. Overhauled the timer and profiling system to a DTime-centric approach with DTimer and controllable memory display. Refactored the argument structure to use a dict for args.* members, improving data organization and extensibility. Upgraded output formatting to ascii.ecsv tables, with CPU and MEM always shown and memory exposure documented. Added examples and initial findings to guide ongoing performance optimization, and hardened quality with targeted fixes: issue 550 (filename recognition) and removal of an extraneous debug statement, plus unit tests for timers.DTime.
