Strings are very optimized in v8, so just replacing hot path string with
buffer does not always help - benchmark first, ideally at a very low level
( statistical profiler / dtrace / generated assembly / irhydra ). For
example, if you do `content += chunk` in a loop you are likely not copying

It'd be helpful if you also posted the relevant code.

Barrier crossing between JS and C++ is slow. Buffer is implemented by
Node.js and therefore each call to .slice() is expensive because of that
barrier crossing.
I advise you measure and choose the best option for your use case.
