The table is generated from apps/docs/src/data/bench-rn-latest.json. To refresh after a new device run:
- In
apps/playground-rn-dev, open Benchmarks and run jsi-sync + Watermelon at 10k (or 1k for smoke). - Tap Share JSON report and merge
melonVsWdb(and optionallyreportfor jsi vs turbo) plusgeneratedAt/deviceintobench-rn-latest.json. - Commit the updated JSON with your PR so the docs site picks up the new timings.
Same scenarios as the Node harness: row insert, batch insert, filtered query, count, and find-by-id. Ratio for Melon-db vs WDB is melonMs / watermelonMs (< 1 means Melon-db faster).
