I put it in root repo dir and run from filters/ directory, by executing:

../find-oldest-line.sh | ../find-old-lines.pl > ../oldest-lines.txt

-- autosave.lua
--
-- Periodically saves "watch later" data during playback, rather than only saving on quit.
-- This lets you easily recover your position in the case of an ungraceful shutdown of mpv (crash, power failure, etc.).
--
-- You can configure the save period by creating a "lua-settings" directory inside your mpv configuration directory.
-- Inside the "lua-settings" directory, create a file named "autosave.conf".
-- The save period can be set like so:
--
-- save_period=60

Answer to comments on uBlock Origin thread: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/commit/5733439f629da948cfc3cae74afa519f6cff7b7f as it seems I do not have permission to comment.

Hi,

First of all I'd like to personnaly thank you for all the work you do on uBlock Origin and other extensions, the source code of which have been an inspiration to me personally many times in the past.

I am also really excited that there are multiple people pushing for more accurate measurements of the efficiency of content-blockers and I think sharing methodologies, data and results is a great start!

It is interesting that the results you obtained diverge from the study published yesterday. If I understand correctly you got similar timings for uBlock Origin itself, but the numbers for Adblock Plus do not seem to match (45µs instead of ~19µs). I'd really like to understand where this difference could come from.
