I thought MessagePack js implementations were quite a bit slower than 4-5x. Do you know of any benchmarks? String encoding/decoding is definitely big part of the slowdown, not disagreeing.
MessagePack doesn't even have a string type: I think it's only convention that their raw type contains utf-8 bytes if semantically a string, and this is a big headache for interop. Couldn't transit conceivably store strings as raw utf16 bytes or even arrays of packed fixnum/uint16, tag the type at the transit level, and completely sidestep the string encoding issue?
