JavaScriptCore Loves ES6

Saam Barati et al.:

This post describes the development of our first ES6 benchmark, which we call ARES-6. We used ARES–6 to drive significant optimization efforts in JSC, and this post describes three of them: high throughput generators, a new Map/Set implementation, and phantom spread. The post concludes with an analysis of performance data to show how JSC’s performance compares to other ES6 implementations.

The figure above shows the overall ARES-6 scores in three different browsers: Safari 11 (13604.1.21.0.1), Firefox 53.0.3, and Chrome 58.0.3029.110. Our data shows that we’re nearly to 1.8x faster than Chrome, and close to 5x faster than Firefox.
