This is some cool shit!
I don’t know how V8 and JSC compare on memory but I’m happy for this to become a battleground. Nothing but goodness for users if that happens.
(Worth noting that JSC has had a “mini mode” for a while, but it’s focused on API clients. And I don’t know if it’s as aggressive as what V8 did.)
- bzbarsky 7y agoI can't speak to JSC, but at least SpiderMonkey has had memory optimizations that are equivalent to the ones described here (e.g. discarding cold-function bytecode) for a while... I agree that it would be interesting to have more competition, including more measurement, in this space.
- pizlonator 7y agoI would love a memory usage benchmark battle. :-) JS is way faster than it was before the JS perf wars. Let's do it again. Then lets fight over power!
- chungus_khan 7y agoThis exact thing is why browser engine diversity is so important, and why even though I never used Edge, it's very disappointing to me that MS is killing it.
