5. Run `perf script > perfs.out` to generate the data file you'll visualize in a moment. It's useful to [apply some cleanup](#filtering-out-nodejs-internal-functions) for a more readable graph
Now open the flame graph file in your favorite browser and watch it burn. It's color-coded so you can focus on the most saturated orange bars first. They're likely to represent CPU heavy functions.

- Upload the generated `perfs.out` file to <https://flamegraph.com> to visualize the flame graph.
- Run `cat perfs.out | ./FlameGraph/stackcollapse-perf.pl | ./FlameGraph/flamegraph.pl --colors=js > profile.svg` and now open the flame graph file in your favorite browser and watch it burn
