> Adding a -compile(native) flag to mochijson2.erl results in a marked
> performance improvement for large documents. I did the following test
> node compare_write.js -u http://127.0.0.1:5984 -v http://127.0.0.1:5985 -1
> trunk -2 mochijson2-native -d large -r 2 -t 90 -c 200
> and got the results at [1]. The graph shows that the average client response
> time dropped by about 35% with the native encoder. Qualitatively, I also
> noticed that the native encoder used substantially fewer CPU cycles. On my
> dual core Macbook, idle CPU went from ~10% on trunk to ~25% with the +native
> version while the test was running.
> Running the same test with small documents showed essentially no difference
> between the two comparatives, which is not surprising.
> A potential downside of +native is instability in the VM. I've encountered
> issues on AMD machines with R13B04 when using +native for all modules, and
> the core dump pointed to an issue in HiPE. On the other hand, I think that
> mochijson2 should work very well as native code, since it doesn't do any
> message passing or I/O. I'm +1 on simply adding the compile option to the
> codebase in trunk to see how it behaves.
