Hey, thanks for the feedback.

- In the timeline grid, I agree showing coordinates is not useful. I have disabled that
- The rounding: yes, it is pretty stupid to show "revision 71807.4". That goes away once coordinates are disabled though.

I'm very glad to hear that. That was exactly my intention when starting the project :-D
I had to scratch my itch of wanting to better follow pypy's performance as a common python developer, but I also recognized that being such a performance oriented project, pypy badly needed good performance regression monitoring and progress tracking.

Cheers!
Miquel

Yes but axis should be named in a always visible place, so when people see the graphs they know what they mean.

No rounding but actually showing the data for the closest point and not where the mouse is over.

I think this is a clear way to show performance for non developers and is great even for developers, it is a win win website :)
