Telemetry Comparison: Dashboard vs Standalone
Apples-to-apples comparison of the same prompts run through dashboard console vs standalone ./claude CLI
Output
Telemetry Comparison Results
Same 3 test prompts run through both pathways for apples-to-apples comparison
TTFE (Time To First Event)
| Source | Avg TTFE |
|---|---|
| Standalone (./claude) | 6,317ms |
| Dashboard (konsole) | 2,927ms |
| Improvement | -3,390ms (46% faster) |
Why Dashboard TTFE is Faster
- Warm session - konsole maintains a persistent Claude process
- No cold start - standalone pays ~3-4s spawn penalty each time
- Session reuse - context already loaded in memory
Work Time Difference
| Source | Avg Work Time |
|---|---|
| Standalone | 841ms |
| Dashboard | 16,064ms |
Dashboard work time is longer because prompts are wrapped with dashboard context (kontask instructions, user info, etc.) causing more verbose responses.
