Andrew Grieve commented on CB-638:
----------------------------------

That turned out to be it. I added a flag to disable the optimization and HANGING_GET got a lot slower. 

I tried to get your benchmark to be more accurate by disabling setTimeout and adding in delays, but it's still not quite giving the same results as the manual page I created.

I also played with using benchmark.js to measure the times, but it gives ops/second that are far below what the manual test page shows. I suspect it's from it's use of setTimeout when using deferred tests, but I found the source code of benchmark.js to be quite confusing, so gave up on it.

In case you're interested, I pushed it to my github as a separate entry in the auto-tests page. I'm not planning on committing it though, as I think the manual test page does a better job at measuring.

> Doing many native callbacks (such as writing files) has a significant overhead.
> Trigger.io's native bridge is more than 5 times faster than Cordova (on Android). http://trigger.io/cross-platform-application-development-blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/chart_1-21.png
> I'd love to see similar performance stats in Cordova.
