Re: Shouldn't JSON be faster?

I think you're doing apples and oranges and most of the time is in the file stuff. You will get a decent boost if you drop the OO interface and copying the hash.

#   decode_json($json);
              Rate load_config   load_json
load_config 13.8/s          --        -79%
load_json   66.1/s        380%          --

That's interesting, I was able to show the same benefit. Why is OO interface slow? SSF	[reply]

OO uses methods instead of straight subs/functions and they (in the past at least) introduce an overhead of like 30%. OO is fantastic where appropriate but for stuff like this I think the functional interface is better.	[reply]

What are you talking about? load_json is faster than load_config, and load_json is the only OO code shown	[reply]
