Nice work! I'd be interested to see what kind of performance
increase we get from Spidermonkey 1.8.1, which comes with native
JSON parsing/encoding. See here for details: https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Using_native_JSON
.
Rumour has it 1.8.1 will be released any time soon (TM)
I'm not sure the new engine is such a no-brainer. One thing about the
new generation of JS VMs is we've seen greatly increased memory usage
with earlier versions. Also the startup times might be longer, or
shorter.
Though I wonder if this can be improved by forking a JS process rather
than spawning a new process.
