Xdebug's profiler will only start when either the environment variable XDEBUG_TRIGGER is set to StartProfileForMe, the GET or POST variable XDEBUG_TRIGGER is set to StartProfileForMe, or when the cookie XDEBUG_TRIGGER has the value StartProfileForMe.
從作者私下得知的消息，因為 patch space 的大小限制，AMD 可能無法提供 CPU microcode 上的 patch，直接解決問題：
However, unverified sources suggest that a fix via amd-ucode is unlikely (at least for Zen 3) due to limited patch space. If you have more information on this matter, please reach out to me.
所以目前比較可行的作法是在 glibc 裡面使用到 FSRM 的地方針對 Zen 3 與 Zen 4 放 workaround，回到原來沒有 FSRM 的方式處理：
Our only hope is to address this issue in glibc by disabling FSRM as necessary. Progress has been made on the glibc front: x86: Improve ERMS usage on Zen3. Stay tuned for updates.
作者發現是因為 find() 找出所有的連結後 (a 元素)，跑去每一個連結上面綁定事件造成的效能問題：
The .on("click") call attached a click event listener to nearly every link in the content so that the corresponding section would open if the clicked link contained a hash fragment. For short articles with few links, the performance impact was negligible. But long articles like ”United States” included over 4,000 links, leading to over 200ms of execution time on low-end devices.
Worse yet, this behavior was unnecessary. The downstream code that listened to the hashchange event already called the same method that the click event listener called. Unless the window’s location already pointed at the link’s destination, clicking a link called the checkHash method twice — once for the link click event handler and once more for the hashchange handler.
首先是在 -O3 的情況下 (也就是作者使用的參數)，可以看到類似的結果：(我桌機的 CPU 是定速，沒有跑動態調整)

Memray is a memory profiler for Python. It can track memory allocations in Python code, in native extension modules, and in the Python interpreter itself.
套件有多種輸出，其中一種是可以產生出記憶體使用情況的 flamegraph，轉成圖檔後像是這樣：
官方支援 Python 3.7+：
Memray requires Python 3.7+ and can be easily installed using most common Python packaging tools.
While there are many other python profiling projects, almost all of them require modifying the profiled program in some way. Usually, the profiling code runs inside of the target python process, which will slow down and change how the program operates. This means it's not generally safe to use these profilers for debugging issues in production services since they will usually have a noticeable impact on performance. The only other Python profiler that runs totally in a separate process is pyflame, which profiles remote python processes by using the ptrace system call. While pyflame is a great project, it doesn't support Python 3.7 yet and doesn't work on OSX or Windows.
