Start Duration for Windows doesn't match with my pc
ahqsoftwares opened this issue · 14 comments
Hello,
As I have noticed under the start duration, the run time of tauri is higher than electron as stated there. However it is quite the opposite in my pc. My PC Specs:
- Windows 11 Pro
- CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3210 CPU @ 3.20GHz
- RAM: 12GB
- DISK TYPE: SSD
The app I've used to measure is PassMark App Timer
- The Average timing for electron to load is: 2.09876666667 secs (12 iterations)
- The Average timing for tauri to load is: 0.15355 secs (12 iterations)
This is the part with which I am unsatisfied https://github.com/Elanis/web-to-desktop-framework-comparison?tab=readme-ov-file#start-duration

Hello, thanks for this issue !
What does this app use to measure start duration ?
Because I use the load event of the inner webview as the end of measurement, and the binary start as the start measurement.
Window Initial loading time
Although the webview too loads 2x earlier in Tauri compared to Electron
I also have vastly different experience build my app on Tauri and Electron.
Tauri build time is 10x faster then on Electron.
I am using monorepo (turborepo) sharing code between Electron and Tauri, and for same React app that I have Tauri ends up building much faster.
I am currently on Windows PC, but soon I'll check MacOS too.
Glad that this comparison exists, really helped me during testing period to know which one to pick :)
Huge thanx for all the work!
This is really interesting to see these comments !
I need a bit of investigation to see if there's some mistake somewhere, but results were respecting my own initial manual tests if I recall correctly (but I might have missed something, who knows ?).
About the build time, do you consider that I don't use the advantage of incremental build when building Tauri, which automatically increase a lot build time. Might be worth adding to #142
Also, for some people that might read this, note that since I am using Github Actions for benchmarks, we have to compare relative differences more than absolute values like I said in the README. Not that any of you did it, but I prefer to remind 😄
But still, this is interesting to see huge differences like that. Maybe we need to change some process or ways to benchmark everything !

Thanks ! That was my initial goal, I just wanted to compare Tauri, nw.js and electron and chose what to pick up for my projects. I didn't expect this project to continue over time, or gain stars, and even less to get to 880 😅 I'm glad it helps other people to make choices :)
Tauri apps have a 1st time huge time killing scheme. Also, depending on the pc specs it differs a lot I agreed
Also, another thing to note is that you technically have web builds for electron and tauri (considering you don't use the tauri apis on web build) you may add a sidenote regarding that

This is true.
But we believe I should make react (for example) examples as well, so we can see differences between vanilla js, framework versions (like a react todo-list for example), and native calls versions (for example a simple file explorer).
Lots of ideas, but since I don't have that much time to spend on that project, I can't promise I could do it immediately. I created #559 to track this.
Yeah, sure
Off Topic
I actually came to here from Tauri Apps. In #off-topic it was posted where I saw that which I quickly created an issue
Within next few weeks I'll also have Github actions setup and ready so that will also give me more info on performance (build time).
Thing is that PC I am using is pretty old (8-9 years) :D I don't think that I'll beat Github actions, but time will tell.
I'll post results somewhere here.
I agree with you that examples that use React, Svelte or Vue would give more insights in performance.
My pc is of 2012 specs too :) and it can easily beat GitHub Actions
Also, the neuralinojs architecture does lack security and can be easily intercepted unlike tauri
I did various fixes since this issue, which should have improved results.
There is still #142 and #444 waiting but then I think there won't be much more possible to add.
If you have any other improvements ideas, feel free to open a dedicated issue and we can talk about it.
In the meantime, I will close this issue :)
