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.
Memory usage is a definite concern. I'm not sure I follow why startup
times would be important though. Am I missing something?
Start up time isn't a huge concern, but it's is a something to
consider. On a heavily loaded system, scripts that normally work might
start to time out, requiring restarting the process. Lots of restarts
may start to eat lots cpu and memory IO.
