Unless I'm somehow missing his change in my git-repo. I tried moving "pattern" outside of the loop in string-validate-input.js and saw a 15% speed increase. Looking at the shark sample, we're still spending all our time compiling the regexp. Maybe the patch he landed as part of the old bug was just the "first step in the right direction". Well, here is a bug to cover the other steps. :) 60660 1 eric 2007-11-08 13:04:24 -0800 Of course, even moving pattern outside of the loop for our test run, we're still 38% slower: validate-input: 31.8% *slower* 106.4ms +/- 0.6% 140.2ms +/- 1.7% significant than spidermonkey is for this test. :( 60696 2 ggaren 2007-11-08 15:48:41 -0800 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 15902 ***
