alt Hacker NewsI have a test of 200Kb query that AsmJit takes 7 seconds to compile (that's not too bad both LLVM and MIR take ~20s), while sljit does it in 50ms. 200Kb is a pathological case, but it's not unheard of in the area I'm working on. It's realistic, although a rare case. Last 10-15 years most OLTP workloads became CPU bound, because active datasets of most real databases fully fit in memory. There are exceptions, of course.
That's interesting - 200kB should not be a big deal for it - maybe it uses something that I usually don't, like many function calls, or insane number of branches, etc... I would be interested in that case, but I'm not sure whether I would be able to blindly improve AsmJit without a comprehensive test.
Definitely good to know though. When it comes to low-latency compilation my personal goal is to make it even faster when generating small functions.
