Sorting a million-row CSV in an Electron renderer took over a minute, 140x slower than the same code in a Node script, its developer found. The slowdown showed up only in a renderer already holding a large file, so a profile taken there was the only way to find it.

Deno 2.9 adds an experimental deno desktop command that compiles a web app into a single binary. The default backend bundles no browser engine, so rendering follows WebView2 or WebKit. Bundling Chromium is a flag away, at tens of megabytes.

The installer launched fine on the build machine and quit in about a second on a Mac that had never run Homebrew. Getting it to start took 26 dylibs copied into the bundle, every path rewritten to @loader_path, and an ad hoc re-sign.

The per-tab figures were summed off an unfiltered ps listing, so a browser policy that looked 198 MB ahead was really 91 MB behind. What caught it was watching one number fail to move across a page load.
