Wow, I'd stick with the vanilla Spidermonkey for now...By far my favorite thing about CouchDB is the fact that I can run it on a 256Mb server along-side my web app and it churns and burns happily even when the load begins to kick up. Couldn't be happier with it. Thanks for the "testing" Jan :)

Interesting still! 2x speed for 10x mem consumption on my ad-hoc, non-scientific testing. The keeping-memory-down methods of Spidermonkey either are not in place yet or I was doing it wrong. But i didn't spend a whole lot of time one it, so take this with a grain of salt. Yes, I had to try that immediately :) Cheers Jan -- PS: Sorry for the empty email earlier. > > > > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Chris Anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2008 10:40:51 PM > Subject: Re: Any benefit in the pipe from TraceMonkey? > > On Tue, Aug 26, 2008 at 8:26 PM, Bradford Winfrey > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> I was just curious about CouchDB's performance (not that I have any >> problem with it at the moment).
