The article would have been stronger if it had benchmarks showing the performance improvements of this technique. My intuition is that the memory overhead of strings is not the main performance issue with most compilers.

- chubot 3y agoYeah, for compilers, I would like to see a benchmark of small string optimization (which should be a huge win for most workloads) and string interning (also should be huge, not in the post though) A pet peeve is that benchmark suites often favor measuring performance with fibonacci or mandelbrot-type things, but string/graph/hash table workloads are much different, in multiple dimensions Compilers and network servers are more like the latter
