Hi webkit-dev: >From our testing, some pages (like espn.com) waste up to 3-5% of WebCore's total memory storing 8-bit-encoded strings in 16-bit buffers.
We've started investigating changing our String class to store 8-bit-encoded strings in 8-bit buffers when possible (reclaiming all this wasted memory). This project is tricky because 1. JavaScript exposes the double-byte-ness of strings in the DOM and 2. our String classes tend to be very performance sensitive. We're proceeding with caution. :) If anyone would like to follow along at home, they should CC themselves on the bug: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66161 -Annie
