speedometer

Speed measurement in Javascript

npm install speedometer

Usage

var speedometer = require('speedometer');
var fs = require('fs');

// Let's measure how fast we can read from /dev/urandom
var speed = speedometer();
var stream = fs.createReadStream('/dev/urandom');

stream.on('data', function(data) {
	// Simply call speed with the amount of bytes transferred
	var bytesPerSecond = speed(data.length);

	console.log(bytesPerSecond+' bytes/second');
});

You can always get the current speed by calling speed().

Per default speedometer uses a 5 second buffer. To change this simply pass another value to the constructor

var speed = speedometer(20); // uses a 20s buffer instead
