Sounds like a cool project :) So, I think these deopts are all expected, and I don't think you're in a deopt loop (but I could be wrong about that). Basically what's happening is, your `tick()` function is called frequently, you increment counters (dot count, scanline count, instruction cycle count, etc), and there are a number of branches in your functions which depend on those variables --- so they aren't reached every time. Because of that, the compiler decides to deopt when it sees them, so that the slow case can run them and collect information that the optimizer can make use of next time to speed them up.
Is the 30% measure of performance only measuring time spent in the tick's frame, or does it also include functions invoked by tick()? > On Sep 25, 2018, at 11:24 PM, Taylor Dondich <tay...@dondich.com> wrote: > > I'm building a NES emulator in Javascript and there's a certain function of > code that when gathering performance metrics in google chrome, shows that the > self time for this method is over 30% of overall execution time.
