Thanks for the nice, dynamic UI web graphs!
Overall, I find them useful and well-designed.

Would it be possible to present the data in a more discrete manner since
the interpolated view presented now, while nice to look at, does not always
reflect the underlying data trend?

For example, if I have this data plotted as 1) stair-steps or 2) line
segments (I didn't take the time to do a spline fit),

I find that the line style for 1) is usually less misleading about what
we really know about the data.

1) stair-step

2) straight lines:

and I'd like to see this data:

plotted in the stair-step style.

I tried that out:

❯ cd .../distro/yocto/yocto-bs-html

❯ ../poky.git/scripts/oe-build-perf-report -r
"/media/rmacleod/gitter/rmacleod/src/distro/yocto/yocto-bs-html/../yocto-buildstats.git"
--branch "master" --commit "663f1805742ff6fb6955719d0ab7846a425debcf"
--branch2 "master" --html > test.html
ERROR: No buildstats found, please try running 'git fetch origin
refs/notes/buildstats/perf-alma8/master/qemux86:refs/notes/buildstats/perf-alma8/master/qemux86'
to fetch them from the remote

so I did that.  It was > 3 GB of data...  !!

Receiving objects:  89% (10568/11747), 2.03 GiB | 3.28 MiB/s6 MiB/s

❯ du -sh .
3.2G    .

Also, one shouldn't have to call bash just to run your script since you
shell
does that already if you have the right #!/path/to/foo and you have made
the script executable:

❯ file ../poky.git/scripts/oe-build-perf-report
../poky.git/scripts/oe-build-perf-report: Python script, ASCII text
executable

❯ head -1 ../poky.git/scripts/oe-build-perf-report
#!/usr/bin/env python3

Anyway, that did generate a test.html file in ~ 10 seconds for me on my
Pop!OS (Ubuntu-based) distro
and it rendered nicely in Firefox 124.0.1 (64-bit) so that's nice to see.

Thanks again,
