Summary JSValue::isObject() is slow

Reported 2008-09-12 17:40:25 PDT
JSValue::isObject() shows up as 2.4% of the Shark profile for the V8 Earley-Boyer benchmark. The recent changes to property access should make this easier to implement efficiently. I am assigning this to myself.

Created attachment 23386 [details] Patch that is a slowdown, but shouldn't be This is a 0.7% speedup on SunSpider, but it is a regression on V8, including a small regression on Earley-Boyer and a large 6.4% regression on Richards. I don't really know what's up with this.

Created attachment 23388 [details] Proposed patch This patch that also does the same thing for JSCell::isString() is a 0.7% speedup on SunSpider and a 1.0% speedup on the V8 benchmark suite.
