Baffled by generational garbage collection

I just meant that you cannot easily see wall time and memory use together on the same page. (I would love to be wrong about that.)

Are you reading on your phone? Portrait orientation may lose columns.

On the page you referenced:

— secs is elapsed seconds aka wall time aka wall clock

— mem is memory use

— gz is source code size

— cpu secs is cpu seconds

secs, mem, cpu secs as reported by BenchExec

Yep! I was on my phone, sorry about that.

Did it ever used to only show wall time? Or am I just completely misremembering?

It's been showing both for at-least 15 years (and before that claimed to be showing CPU secs, not Elapsed secs).
