I tested V8 test suite on both SFX and TM shell. The result has about 14 times difference. It seems we need to verify how to come the difference.
I used sunspider test suite, which was included in webkit opensource.

3 things make us perform horribly on 3 of the 5 testcases:

- instanceof (just fixed that)
- arguments
- call/callname into a call object on the stack

We should schedule the last 2 items as high priority wanted.

Also, the 14x doesn't reproduce for me, especially not on crypto. I think the reporter is running with JIT off (missing -j argument to the shell). But performance is bad and not good as it should. I will confirm the bug based on my own benchmarks.

Is it worth making JIT _on_ be the default for js.cpp ?
Yeah, I think it probably is; could use --disable-jit or -J to disable it?  File that mother. :)
Yeah, he wouldn't be the first to fall into the trap. We could just flip the meaning of -j to disable jit. Thats a 1-liner and it almost makes sense "-j" == minus jit.
Except that it would break in this way everything that _currently_ has the JIT enabled...
Bug 498368 is filed.
It seems I didn't enable JIT of TM. When I use "-j", result of sunspider is about 3 times faster. So, I tested v8 test suite on TM after enabling JIT via "-j" option.  If I still have mistakes, please let me know.


The result is as below,

There are a lot of bugs tracking performance improvements for the individual v8 tests. Between those and the constant feedback at AWFY, this bug doesn't seem to have much use.
