YJIT Results Over Time

YJIT Relative Speedup and Statistics Over Time
YJIT's relative speedup over CRuby, the metric that is most generally applicable and least subject to changes in hardware or benchmark code.
YJIT vs CRuby Memory Usage Over Time
Memory usage overhead of YJIT compared to CRuby (development versions).
Benchmark Runtime Comparison Over Time
Comparison of total runtime of each ruby version for any benchmark over time (mostly useful for debugging unexpected changes).
YJIT Benchmark Runtime Over Time
Total runtime duration per benchmark for just the development version of YJIT.
