Performance tip: avoid unnecessary copies – Daniel Lemire's blog
Daniel Lemire is a computer science professor at the Data Science Laboratory of the Université du Québec (TÉLUQ) in Montreal. His research is focused on software performance.
Hasnain says:
“Sometimes people observe at this point that the performance of Node.js 18 was already fine: 1.3 GB/s is plenty fast. It might be fast enough, but you must take into account that we are measuring a single operation that is likely part of a string of operations. In practice, you do not just ingest base64 data. You do some work before and some work after. Maybe you decoded a JPEG image that was stored in base64, and next you might need to decode the JPEG and push it to the screen. And so forth. To have an overall fast system, every component should be fast.”
