stream: simplify Writable.write #31146

ronag · 2019-12-31T11:45:15Z

Simplifies Writable.write ~~and adds an optimization where if you pass 'buffer' as the encoding parameter to write(chunk, encoding, cb) it will bypass a slow path where we check whether chunk is a Buffer or not.~~

#31146 (comment)

```js streams/writable-manywrites.js sync='no' n=2000000 0.98 % ±2.18% ±2.88% ±3.72% streams/writable-manywrites.js sync='yes' n=2000000 *** 30.92 % ±4.45% ±5.93% ±7.76% ````

Seems like a lot of bad regressions...

Performance regressions should be resolved first

ronag · 2020-01-02T11:03:12Z

I'm a little confused what happened here. Passing 'buffer' now seems to have a significant negative instead of positive performance impact.

I've slightly changed this to not include the encoding !== 'buffer' "fast/slow" path.

@ronag I think it makes sense to keep the encoding part in the benchmark. That way it's easier to identify regressions.

ronag · 2020-01-02T16:37:03Z

@ronag I think it makes sense to keep the encoding part in the benchmark. That way it's easier to identify regressions.

But right now the encoding part doesn't do anything with 'buffer'? It would just unnecessarily make the benchmark run slower.
