I had an application with a performance bottleneck once, and people kept telling me that the solution was to upgrade node. I ignored them, ran a profiler, found a bottleneck and fixed the bottleneck. Sounds obvious but not everyone is familiar with performance optimization.

Out of curiosity did you also check to see if upgrading node would've also been to your benefit? It could just be a side-effect of working at a large company with smart people, but if "people" are telling me the solution is an upgrade I wouldn't be doing my due diligence to ignore them all. Not trying to invalidate the fact that you found a way to enhance performance via profiling - that's great! But the way you phrased your response seemed very condescending of "people" when there may have been truth to what they said.
