Personally I haven't had a great experience with opening performance-related issues, a lot of the times people don't care enough about performance, pretty often they feel kind of insulted that you are saying that something they have written is slow and should be made faster.
A lot of the times, especially if the library is small, I find it more useful to just rewrite the whole thing. Or forking it with the performance patches and submit a PR, trying to convince people to make something faster with an issue doesn't work very well in my experience.
- franciscop 5y agoAll of the "performance improvements" I've seen (only few TBF) were either not real improvements at all (think of, "I read once that in JS inverting the for() order is faster", without any benchmark) or true but very marginal improvements while making the code impossible to maintain (think a blob of 10 lines of bit shifting/impossible regexp).
