We should probably investigate this one, because as h4writer mentioned, this is likely to be a function which is not compiled with Ion and which run on the interpreter when used with --no-jm.

The following results are made on the JS NES shell benchmark:

Tracelogging file is 7.4gb. So getting stats from it takes to much time. I've let it run for long enough to stabilize the running time:

interpreter,../source/nes.js:96: 32447950762 cycles (68%), called: 150 , 216319671 cycles/call
ion_cannon,../source/papu.js:289: 3211986848 cycles (6%), called: 1842494 , 1743 cycles/call

ion_cannon,../source/ppu.js:947: 92741705 cycles (0%), called: 3949 , 23484 cycles/call

So it indicated that most time is spend in ../source/nes.js:96 and that it doesn't get compiled. IM logs shows the same but without reason why... Shouldn't be to hard to figure out why we disable it ...

[Abort] Disabling Ion compilation of script ../source/nes.js:96
This issue is only visible when running without threads and when disabling methodjit. Not related to real world performance at all!

../source/cpu.js:116 is disabled because it is 5818 bytes (2000bytes is max. allowed without threads, with backgroundcompiler 20000byetes)

../source/nes.js:96 is very hot and calls cpu.js:116 a lot. We have a rule that a function can only call 512 from IM -> VM -> JM/Interpreter. If we go over that, the caller gets disabled in order to compile it in JM and do JM -> JM call. Off course in this case is JM disabled so function nes.js:96 is called in the interpreter and uber slow.


My performance is in line with nbp. Therefore you can compare this with previous reported times. We are still slower, because now we have to run ../source/cpu.js:116 in the interpreter instead of JM. Enabling JM or using threaded js will have better times.
