@mathias how does the v8 team prioritise what to optimise? Do you collect real user data? Also, why are we not optimising for other packed arrays with elements of only one type? @smashingmag #perfmatters #SmashingConf
For those reading along who didn’t hear my answer during the Q&A: the @v8js team focuses on real-world performance rather than microbenchmarks. Two recent examples: Speedometer 2.0 (https://v8project.blogspot.com/2018/01/speedometer-2.html …) + the Web Tooling Benchmark (https://v8project.blogspot.com/2017/11/web-tooling-benchmark.html …).
