Hmm, checked with a larger string now, and it's not anymore. The inconsistency in between browsers is already amazing, but that is strange. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Is it really faster with ptr and size in constructor? When I last time checked it was less efficient than original approach

There is quite a bit of uncertainty around how and when this is faster. Would probably be best if browsers would just deal with JS strings better. Closing. |

For some reason, using an
Uint8Arraywhen encoding a string is up to 5x faster. Speedup depends on the browser a bit, but seems to be universal across major engines.
