Analysis

JetStream2/SeaMonster/inspector-json-payload.js contains a 7.33-MB JavaScript array literal containing 846 object literals. This entire array literal can be serialized to JSON and turned into a 8.2-MB JavaScript string literal, which can be passed to JSON.parse() to produce an equivalent array.

This repository tests each approach in 100 different contexts in the dumbest possible way, i.e. by simply invoking d8 a 100 times per script. That is, we perform 100 cold loads, and measure everything (parsing, compilation, and execution) until the program halts.

On my workstation (Ryzen 5900X, 32GB DDR4 3600MHz RAM, Windows, WSL2), I got the following results:
