Hello,
    We recently switched a lot of our jackson data to smile format. I did 
some benchmarks on some of our data and we saw good deserialization speedup 
of around 30% when using smile rather than text. We are mostly concerned 
with deserialization as we do many more of those ops.

However when I actually enabled it for all our data, we noticed things 
actually running slower. It seems one of our objects in particular got 
about 10% slower. I captured a java flight recording and it appears the 
hotspot is in ByteQuadsCanonicalizer._verifySharing (the Arrays.copyOf 
operations). I also enabled the afterburner module -- not sure if that 
would have any adverse impacts.

We also have a time of day when one of our objects gets larger. We did see 
slower performance for this object during that time, which was expected. 
But we also noticed a slow down during that time in other objects that 
don't change size. Is there any shared resource that could explain that?

Is it expected that smile could be slower for some data structures? I had 
assumed it would just generally be faster.

I think our configuration is pretty straightforward, we do have some custom 
serializers but otherwise it's just:

SmileFactoryBuilder factoryBuilder = new SmileFactoryBuilder(new 
SmileFactory())
.disable(JsonFactory.Feature.CANONICALIZE_FIELD_NAMES)
.disable(JsonFactory.Feature.INTERN_FIELD_NAMES)
.disable(StreamWriteFeature.AUTO_CLOSE_TARGET);

ObjectMapper m = new ObjectMapper(factoryBuilder.build());
m.configure(MapperFeature.USE_GETTERS_AS_SETTERS, false);
m.configure(DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES, false);
m.configure(SerializationFeature.CLOSE_CLOSEABLE, false);
m.setSerializationInclusion(JsonInclude.Include.NON_NULL);
m.registerModule(new AfterburnerModule());
