| 14 | +## Methodology <a name="methodology"></a> |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +##### LayoutKit Benchmark |
| 17 | +FlexLayout and [PinLayout](https://github.com/mirego/PinLayout) performance has been tested using a fork of [LayoutKit](https://github.com/mirego/LayoutKit). LayoutKit include an example app with a really nice and simple benchmark. It is used to compare LayoutKit with Auto layout, UIStackViews and manual layouting. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +The benchmark has been modified to also include [FlexLayout](https://github.com/lucdion/FlexLayout) and [PinLayout](https://github.com/mirego/LayoutKit/blob/master/LayoutKitSampleApp/Benchmarks/FeedItemPinLayoutView.swift). Remark how FlexLayout and PinLayout code is concise, clean and doesn't contain any computation [compared to Manual Layouting source code](#source_code_compare). |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +The benchmark include tests for the following layout systems: |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +* Auto layout |
| 25 | +* Auto layout using UIStackViews |
| 26 | +* LayoutKit |
| 27 | +* Manual layout (i.e. set UIView's frame directly) |
| 28 | +* [FlexLayout](https://github.com/lucdion/FlexLayout) |
| 29 | +* [PinLayout](https://github.com/mirego/PinLayout) |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +Anyone who would like to integrate any other layout frameworks to this GitHub repository is welcome. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +##### Benchmark details |
| 34 | +The LayoutKit benchmark layout UICollectionView and UITableView cells in multiple pass, each pass contains more cells than the previous one. The **X axis** in following charts indicates the **number of cells** contained for each pass. The **Y axis** indicates the **number of seconds** to render all cells from one pass. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +##### Benchmark cell layout |
| 37 | +Here are the benchmark rendering results to compare visual results: |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +* [Auto layout rendering result](benchmark_result_Autolayout.png) |
| 40 | +* FlexLayout rendering result |
| 41 | +* [PinLayout rendering result](benchmark_result_PinLayout.png) |
| 42 | +* [LayoutKit rendering result](benchmark_result_LayoutKit.png) |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +<br> |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +## Results <a name="results"></a> |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +As you can see in the following chart, FlexLayout and PinLayout's performance are faster or equal to manual layouting. FlexLayout is **between 26x and 36x faster than auto layout** and PinLayout **between 12x and 16x faster than auto layout**, and this for all types of iPhone (5/6/6S/7) |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +These results means that FlexLayout and PinLayout are faster than any layout frameworks that is built over auto layout (SnapKit, Stevia, PureLayout, ...). |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +<br> |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +### FlexLayout and PinLayout performance compared to Auto layout |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +This table shows FlexLayout and PinLayout performance compared to Auto layout when layouting UICollectionView's cells. |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +The table shows that FlexLayout took 23 miliseconds to render 100 UICollectionView's cells on a iPhone 6 compared to 53 miliseconds for PinLayout and 611 ms for Auto layout. Its 26 time faster for FlexLayout and 12 time faster for PinLayout. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +| | Auto layout time (seconds) | FlexLayout time (seconds) | Flex performance compared to Auto layout | PinLayout time (seconds) | PinLayout performance compared to Auto layout | |
| 61 | +|:---------:|:---------:|:---------:|:-----------------------------------------------------------------------:|:---------------------------:|:-------------------------:| |
| 62 | +| iPhone 5 | 2.074 | 0.067 | 31x Faster | 0.126 | 16x Faster | |
| 63 | +| iPhone 6 | 0.611 | 0.023 | 26x Faster | 0.053 | 12x Faster | |
| 64 | +| iPhone 6S | 0.344 | NA | NA | 0.029 | 12x Faster | |
| 65 | +| iPhone 7 | 0.293 | 0.008 | 37x Faster | 0.021 | 14x Faster | |
