Comment #2 on issue 690 by [email protected]: Splay benchmark spends too much time converting numbers to strings
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=690
From one of the other bug reports, it sounds like you're running the version that is within SunSpider (http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit/trunk/SunSpider/tests/v8-v4), so I thought it might be in order to point out that the Setup and TearDown functions are not counted towards the benchmark score when running the V8 benchmark suite (see the implementation in base.js). The time it takes to build the working set shouldn't have any impact on the final score, so the unintentional number-to-string conversions may be
(slightly) less of a problem when running the official V8 benchmark suite. I'll keep this issue accepted and work on a suitable fix anyway. -- v8-dev mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/v8-dev
