I get a startling regression on a Mac laptop -- 70% slowdown -- will look further to see if I am making some obvious mistake. |

@dr2chase I can reproduce your result on my Mac laptop too: Tentatively marking this as a release blocker, until we understand what's causing this and whether this is representative of many Go programs. /cc @cagedmantis @toothrot |

Charming. Turning off asynchronous preemption eliminates a whole lot of the regression, but not all of it. (Why did I try this? Because attempting to collect profiles made both of them equally, terribly slow.) |
|
I have to quit for the night, what I find in 1.14 vs 1.13 (ignoring likely interactions with preemption) is an extra instruction in the GOSSAFUNC output, comparing final output for I doubt we're going to fix that extra instruction, but the other slowdown seems worth further look. The inner loops are and 1.14 |
|
It might be worthwhile quickly eliminating #35881 as the source of the regression. Is your CPU listed in the description of #35881? Are you running a recent version of the microcode? If so, you could try

|
I did a as-careful-as-possible laptop benchmark, and with asynchronous preemption OFF, the branch alignment fix makes 1.13 and 1.14 effectively equal (on my laptop). We still don't entirely understand what's wrong with preemption in this benchmark, will keep looking, will also see how the latest version of the branch alignment batch compares. |

The alignment issue depends on your CPU's microcode version, which Apple has updated in the last few months. No idea how that works for Linux users. For example: |
|
On Linux the microcode version can be found in /proc/cpuinfo. |
|
Re the large slowdown on Darwin: there's something strange going on with signals here. i.e., just turning on the profiler leads to an almost 4x slowdown. 1.14 is different because it uses signals all the time. So we always see the slow behavior unless both the profiler and the async preempt are off: Not sure what's going on here yet, but something about Darwin and signals is bad. So this really isn't new with 1.14. It just appears more often due to more use of signals. |
|
I've split out the Darwin-specific weirdness into #37174 . |

Change https://golang.org/cl/219229 mentions this issue: |

The remaining performance issue is related to unaligned jumps. We will not be making changes to our jumps before the 1.14 release, but likely will address it in a point release. I'll remove the |

@cherrymui @dr2chase Is this still an issue for 1.15? If so, what should we set the milestone to? Thanks. |
|
|
Oops, no, because of a finger-fumble that is not correct. Shut down Chrome and the IDE, try again. |
|
Okay, now it's closed. There's a 0.3% slowdown (2 parts in 673), which is close enough. |
