I am developing a JavaScript game and then I would like to "phonegap" it to the mobile platform, specifically Android. It is a well known fact that these non-native apps could be really power consuming when run on mobile, so I would like to optimize it the best.

Is there a way to determine which part of the code, or which function is the most power consumptive? Some sort of a JS debugger, which would tell me how much time it took to run that part of the code - or which would tell me which part I should rewrite?

Optimization is a tricky process and I know it, but I wanted to give this a shot.

Thanks in advance.

  • You can use the Google Chrome JS Profiler, assuming that power profile consumption on desktop browsers is the same (or similar) to the mobile one. – domokun Jul 03 '14 at 13:54

It would also be interesting on an "academic level" if you could provide some comparison between mobile and desktop here.
