Right, in this case the overhead of the thread pool dwarfs everything else. I brought it up because it's in general a good idea to avoid string-to-buffer conversions. The http_simple benchmark, for example, slows down by about 40% with strings. There are even some pathological cases where V8 veers off into O(n^2) land (we're close to fixing that, though). -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
