I've seen parseInt being used quite a lot instead of Math.floor on Numbers. Since parseInt is more than twice as slow it might make sense to do a check to see if the type is Number and if so just use Math.floor instead.

Maybe the same thing should be done for Rhino as well?
Keywords: testcase
I realized that using (n | 0) is even faster. Why is that these 3 different ways to do the same thing have such a different performance?

Math.floor and |0 don't do the same thing. Consider negative numbers.
Attached patch possible fix (obsolete) (deleted) — — Splinter Review
Should we burn some code space to make this case fast? Is it really common? How about JSVAL_IS_DOUBLE cases? /be

Comment on attachment 209177 [details] [diff] [review] possible fix This looks good, though comment 0 seems to imply that the JSVAL_IS_DOUBLE case is something we should care about.

I wasn't even aware that there was 2 different internal types for js numbers. I've seen parseInt being used for heavy math routines where Math.floor should be used. In these cases the numbers are usually doubles.
Keywords: perf
The patch doesn't check whether the radix is 10, for example the result of parseInt(11,3) should be 4, not 11. Just MHO, but I don't think this is worth fixing. People doing 'heavy math routines' should know better than to abuse parseInt for rounding.

gprof2html can convert this profile data to html view
Why not just attach the HTML?
(In reply to comment #12) > Why not just attach the HTML? > Because grpof2html will generate a lot of html's (it works so). I will attach gzipped folder with gprof2html result

Yes, this should block 1.9, I'll own it. Looks like all we need is for "possible fix" to be updated to 1.9 -- would be nice to know before landing if it has any appreciable results in our benchmarks, though. Sayrer?

SunSpider results coming...
Attachment #209177 - Attachment is obsolete: true
Not a huge difference in SunSpider results for any given test; nothing is dramatically worse, overall, a bit faster (20ms overall). I'll let someone else do proper testing.

I don't object to a tiny amount of code to avoid doing something expensive when it can be avoided with a quick test. /be
Attached patch updated (obsolete) (deleted) — — Splinter Review
adds the radix == 10 check (was hoping to do better, but it doesn't seem easy or obvious) and removes the "value" var from previous patch.

Comment on attachment 307392 [details] [diff] [review] updated JS_SET_RVAL is more for the outside world, and indeed you see *vp = ... used in context to set the r.v., so best to do likewise at this point. Thanks, /be

yeah, I missed radix == 0, too, new patch in a second.

Comment on attachment 307404 [details] [diff] [review] add radix == 0 (equivalent to 10) check, and pick nit for Brendan Oops, how could I forget 0? Reorder the tests to test for 0 first, since it is by far the most common (the default, just visible at the top of context). Thanks, /be
