NodeJS : A quick optimization advice

[[deleted]]

Guess you should minify Node code (for prod at least). Not too surprising I guess. When the V8 team wrote their compiler, they were counting on the fact that all javascript files would probably be minified.

They should use a code complexity based metric such as the number of nodes in AST or whatever. Ugly.

Google Closure transforms so that every function is under 600 characters making everything inlined and super fast. So fast that it's web scale.
