This animation visualizes performance data collected from a development tools session. The code periodically dumps accumulated performance metrics to a file, writing each batch of records as comma-separated JSON objects appended to `devtools.json`. It uses `fs.appendFile` to write data every 3 seconds, managing the first-write flag to properly format the array. The visualization relies on a global `perfs` array that stores performance entries, which are serialized and output without any charting or rendering library.
