dsh-token-speed

When you are deep into a long-context run in the DSH client, it is easy to lose track of how fast the model is actually emitting tokens. Is this turn cruising at 120 tok/s or grinding along at 40? What was the real TTFT? Answering those questions should not require grepping through logs or spinning up a side script.

dsh-token-speed turns those answers into a small draggable dial that lives in the bottom-right corner of the Web GUI. While the model is streaming, the needle and the centre number climb in real time, estimated from the accumulated text length multiplied by a live characters-per-token ratio. At each step boundary the plugin reads the provider usage.outputTokens together with the firstToken-to-completed timestamps to compute an exact tok/s figure, then feeds that reading back to refine the ratio for the next round. A single click on the dial unfolds a detail panel: live estimated speed, the previous step's precise tok/s, its output token count, its TTFT, and the cumulative output within the current loaded window. The dial also colours the current state — generating, tool executing, or idle — and remembers wherever you drag it via localStorage. Everything is a pure read-only browser subscription; no host state is mutated.

If you use the DSH desktop or Web client day-to-day for inference, prompt iteration, or side-by-side model comparisons and you want a glanceable signal on throughput and latency without leaving the chat, this is a lightweight dial that pulls those numbers out of the logs and onto your screen.
