Summary Remove VM::stringCache
Cameron McCormack (:heycam)
Reported 2022-01-24 13:40:15 PST
We consult VM::stringCache when creating a JSString, but since bug 142115 we never insert anything into it. Removing this results in almost-significant improvements in the VueJS, Vanilla-ES2015, and jQuery sub-tests of Speedometer 2 (of 0.5-2%, 0.03 <= p <= 0.05), and an almost significant 0.2% improvement in the overall score (p = 0.06).

I suppose it comes with the risk of memory use regression.
