With hindsight, I revised decisions made earlier during
this development cycle:
Un-redirectable scriptlets have been removed from
/web_accessible_resources and instead put in the new
/assets/resources/scriptlets.js, which contains all
scriptlets used for web page injection purpose.
uBO will no longer fetch a remote version of built-in
resources.
Advanced setting `userResourcesLocation` will still be
honoured by uBO, and if set, will be fetched every
time at least one asset is updated.
As seen at:
https://whotracks.me/blog/adblockers_performance_study.html
The requests.json.gz file can be downloaded from:
https://cdn.cliqz.com/adblocking/requests_top500.json.gz
Copy the file into ./tmp/requests.json.gz
If the file is present when you build uBO using `make-[target].sh` from
the shell, the resulting package will contain `./assets/requests.json`,
which will be looked-up by the method below to launch a benchmark
session.
From uBO's dev console, launch the benchmark:
µBlock.staticNetFilteringEngine.benchmark();
The usual browser dev tools can be used to obtain useful profiling
data, i.e. start the profiler, call the benchmark method from the
console, then stop the profiler when it completes.
Keep in mind that the measurements at the blog post above where obtained
with ONLY EasyList. The CPU reportedly used was:

Rename ./tmp/requests.json.gz to something else if you no longer want
./assets/requests.json in the build.
