Another implementation will go terribly slow.
V8 is a browser thingy, and I'm sure it is as fast as it could possibly be, because every millisecond counts there.
So there is nothing wrong with V8. But there could be something wrong with node.js itself. Think about hundreds of .js files it needs to read on startup... "npm" itself do 964 system calls to various */node_modules/*.js files when it's starting (use strace to check that).

--If you ever come across a JS engine that boots as fast as Lua, I'll port node to it. On my raspberry pi and my various webos smart-phones, node process booting takes over 1000ms, but lua is nearly instant.Actually, I think a new JS engine who's goal is to be light-weight would be really neat actually. As long as it doesn't run too terribly slow.On Mon, May 13, 2013 at 4:07 PM, Alex Kocharin <a...@kocharin.ru> wrote:If we are talking about non-compatible solutions, I might as well use python instead ;)--
// alex14.05.2013, 01:04, "Tim Caswell" <t...@creationix.com>:Alex, I share your pain. That is why I made a version/port of node that didn't use V8, but rather, the much lighter-weight luajit engine. It's at luvit.io. (warning, not compatible with node.js code or ecosystem, just the same idea / API style)On Sun, May 12, 2013 at 6:21 AM, Alex Kocharin <a...@kocharin.ru> wrote:Well, if NPK will be able to join all dependencies in one _javascript_ file, it will already be a big deal. On my system "npm" executable file takes 1.153s to load from disk and 0.153s to load from cache. All binary executables like "gpg" or "dpkg" take 0.004s to load. It's really annoying sometimes...--
// alex11.05.2013, 10:03, "Fred Chien" <cfsgh...@gmail.com>:Hi All,I am glade to introduce NPK, which is a packaging utlity for Node.js. :-)NPK aims to package project which is based on Node.js, and bundle all _javascript_ files to make all in one file, even protect source code.Here is repository at Github:You also can install it directly via npm:npm install npk -gBTW, We are now trying to support a feature that precompile _javascript_ files to be binary to speed up loading time of program of Node.js.Cheers,Fred--
