Comment on Ignition: V8 Interpreterparent

Comments

What portion of a "standard" web site (say, Google search) is hot vs non-hot ?

The specifics of this are a bit outside my knowledge area, so take this with a few major grains of salt.

But basically V8 has tools built in that will decide when the cost of compiling is worth the possible benefit.

So the AJAX submission javascript will probably never hit the optimizing compiler, but your function inside 3 nested loops will probably be hit ASAP.
