util: Speed up the common case of formatting a single string. #1749

ChALkeR · 2015-05-20T19:29:31Z

This slightly speeds up a common case of formatting a single string.
Used, for example, by console.log("string").

It would probably also help to not leak the arguments here.

Maybe consider https://gist.github.com/Fishrock123/98c35a0c745cb59d7496

for (var i = 0; i < 10000000; i++) {
    util.format('abcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabc1234567890');
}

Before: 4.3 seconds, 2323414 ops/sec.
After: 0.63 seconds, 15927170 ops/sec.

With cloning arguments — 0.29 seconds, 34269599 ops/sec.

~~Should I add the arguments cloning to this PR or make a separate one?~~
I do not want to add arguments cloning to this PR to keep it simple. Let's make a separate one regarding arguments.

Fishrock123 · 2015-05-20T20:50:57Z

~~I think this isn't quite right, you still need it to run though https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/blob/master/lib/util.js#L36-L42 afaik.~~

Nope, I'm wrong. LGTM

For

for (var i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) {
    console.log('abcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabcabc1234567890');
}

There is about 35% speedup.
