<h1>Hermes TUI benchmark — Ink (current UI) vs OpenTUI (new engine)</h1>
<p>Both UIs were run as real binaries in a real terminal, fed the exact same scripted conversations by a fake
gateway, and measured from outside the process. Every number below is the typical of repeated runs (median)
unless said otherwise. ${metaRuns} · generated ${new Date().toISOString()}</p>
<h2>The verdict — who won what</h2>
${verdictTable(verdicts)}
<p class="callout">One-line summary: <b>OpenTUI is the smoother UI</b> (scrolling, streaming) and
<b>Ink is the lighter one</b> (memory, first paint). Everything else is a wash — including reliability,
where both recover from a killed gateway with the transcript intact.</p>
<h2>Memory at real workloads — what sessions actually look like</h2>
<p>The memory debate was framed around 200300-message sessions. The real session database says that band is
the top 510%: <b>the typical session is ~${dist?.tui_cli?.p50 ?? 20} messages</b>, 90% stay under
${dist?.tui_cli?.p90 ?? 182}, and the longest real sessions reach ~${p99real} messages (the longest
1 in 100 — p99) — and at that tail the memory gap widens to ${A.memPeak.mem2000?.ink && A.memPeak.mem2000?.['otui-capped'] ? (A.memPeak.mem2000['otui-capped'].med / A.memPeak.mem2000.ink.med).toFixed(1) : '~2.9'}×.</p>
${fig('session-histogram', 'Takeaway: real sessions are short — half end within ~20 messages; the 200300-msg sizes the debate assumed are actually the top 510% of sessions.')}
${fig('mem-real-workloads', 'Takeaway: at everyday sizes the gap is a modest 6090MB; at the rare-but-real 2,000-msg session it becomes 234MB vs 671MB — 2.9× — which is where Ink genuinely wins.')}
${memMediansTable(A, dist)}
<h2>Scroll responsiveness — where OpenTUI wins</h2>
${fig('scroll-cdf', 'Takeaway: both feel identical on a typical scroll (~2ms), but Inks slowest 1-in-100 responses (p99) take 82101ms — visible hitches — while OpenTUI stays under ~17ms.')}
<h2>Frame smoothness while streaming — where OpenTUI wins</h2>
${fig('frame-rate', 'Takeaway: while a long reply streams in, OpenTUI repaints ~22×/s vs Inks ~16×/s — text appears noticeably more fluid.')}
${fig('frame-gaps', 'Takeaway: typical pauses are similar, but Inks worst stutters between repaints (slowest 1 in 20, p95) are twice as long — 209ms vs 103ms.')}
<h2>Typing echo &amp; first reply paint</h2>
${echoTable(A)}
<p>Keystroke echo is a tie — 12ms on both, far below anything a human can perceive. The one real difference:
after pressing Enter, Ink paints the first reply text in ${A.echo.ink?.submit_first_token_paint_ms ?? '—'}ms
vs OpenTUI's ${A.echo['otui-capped']?.submit_first_token_paint_ms ?? '—'}ms. (Single run per UI.)</p>
<h2>CPU cost of streaming — including the terminal's side of the work</h2>
${fig('pipeline-cpu', 'Takeaway: a tie — same 800-message stream costs ~80 CPU-seconds on either UI, and the terminal emulators share (tmux) is a rounding error (~0.4s) for both.')}
<p>The hypothesis that Ink's bigger output stream costs meaningfully more CPU in the terminal emulator
<b>did not hold at this workload</b>: Ink did push more bytes (${A.pipeline.ink ? (A.pipeline.ink.bytes / 1048576).toFixed(1) : '—'}MB
vs ${A.pipeline['otui-capped'] ? (A.pipeline['otui-capped'].bytes / 1048576).toFixed(1) : '—'}MB), but the tmux
server burned ~0.4 CPU-seconds either way.</p>
${fig('pty-rate', 'Takeaway: per streamed event the CPU cost is in the same ballpark for all configs — neither UI is the cheap one on CPU.')}
<h2>Crash recovery — we shot the gateway mid-stream and watched what happened</h2>
<p>Each scenario kills, freezes, or yanks something out from under the UI on a live session, then checks:
did the UI survive, did the gateway come back, did the stream resume, is the final transcript identical
to an undisturbed run, and is anything left running afterwards?</p>
${chaosTable(A)}
<p><b>Result: a tie.</b> Both UIs auto-respawn a killed gateway and finish with a byte-identical final
transcript and zero orphan processes. Ink respawns faster (~3587ms vs ~1.0s), but both are well within
"didn't lose anything".</p>
<h2>Startup</h2>
${fig('startup', 'Takeaway: Ink gets pixels on screen first (~67ms vs ~127ms); OpenTUI finishes its session bootstrap slightly sooner (~176ms vs ~202ms). Both feel instant.')}
<h2 id="stress">Stress appendix — beyond real usage</h2>
<p class="callout stress">Everything below streams 3,00010,000 messages into one session — past the longest
session ever recorded in the real database (~${p99real} msgs). It shows where the engines break, not what
daily use feels like.</p>
${fig('rss-vs-msgs', 'Takeaway: Ink stays flat (~250MB) no matter how long the marathon runs; OpenTUI climbs toward ~870MB and only levels off thanks to its rolling row cap. Neither hits the 2GB kill line.')}
<h3>Stress-run numbers (3,000-msg marathons + one 10,000-msg run)</h3>
${matrixTable(results)}
<p class="dim">Reading guide: "typical" = median; the bracketed range is the middle half of runs
(interquartile range). "slowest 1 in 100" = p99. OpenTUI's syntax styling visibly degrades past ~1,400
rendered rows in these marathons (style-handle exhaustion fallback); older OpenTUI runs also show a
post-stream crash that was fixed before the latest runs.</p>
${fig('node-count', 'Takeaway: Ink keeps a bounded few hundred nodes mounted no matter how long the transcript gets — consistent with its flat memory line above. (No OpenTUI node-walk run in this result set.)')}
<h3>Low-memory survival (1GB Docker container)</h3>
${survivalTable(results)}
<h2>Run health — can you trust these numbers?</h2>
<p>Determinism gate: each UI replayed the same input twice and must produce a pixel-identical final screen
(same fingerprint). If this fails, none of the comparisons above are meaningful.</p>
${gateTable(results)}
${drainTable(results)}
<p class="dim">Methodology: <code>docs/plans/opentui-bench-suite.md</code>. Real binaries on a real PTY
(120×40), fake gateway via <code>HERMES_PYTHON</code> (zero UI changes), outside-the-process /proc sampling,
2GB cgroup caps via systemd. Instrumented diagnostic runs are flagged and never headlined.</p>
