See the caveats below for why this + matters. +- `--pac-script ` — PAC file to evaluate (default: the same built-in + script as the Rust example). +- `--data-url` — load the PAC as a `data:` URL instead of over HTTP. Chromium + supports this; **WinHTTP does not**, which is one of the capability gaps + behind Chromium avoiding WinHTTP. +- `--unique-hosts` — rewrite each request host to be unique, defeating any + per-endpoint caching so raw evaluation cost is measured. `...` — + override the URL list. + +## Reading the numbers (caveats) + +- **`resolveProxy` is asynchronous cross-process IPC, not an in-process call.** + The benchmark runs in Electron's **main process** (`app.whenReady`, no + renderer) and times `session.resolveProxy()`, but the PAC script is actually + evaluated **out-of-process** in Chromium's network service — so each call is a + Mojo round-trip (main → network service → main), not a local V8 call in the + measuring process. The Rust `pac_bench` paths (WinHTTP, embedded QuickJS) are + synchronous in-process calls, so they measure PAC evaluation itself (~170 µs). + The Electron numbers measure evaluation **plus** the per-call IPC and + event-loop latency, and there is no public API to time Chromium's V8 PAC eval + without that IPC hop. +- **`resolveProxy` is throughput-serialized; concurrency does not help.** The + CI run bears this out: the engine's `min` latency is ~100 µs (PAC eval is + fast, and this is *not* cold start — a warmup pass runs first), yet throughput + tops out around **250–310 calls/s on Windows** (≈1300/s on macOS), and raising + `--concurrency` barely moves it (≈1.2×) while per-call latency balloons into + queuing time. In other words Chromium resolves proxies one-at-a-time through + its single-threaded resolver, so the ceiling is the async-IPC round-trip cost + (amplified on Windows by the ~15.6 ms default timer/scheduler granularity), + not PAC evaluation. `--concurrency` is kept because demonstrating that it + *doesn't* lift throughput is exactly the evidence for serialization. +- **Don't compare this to the in-process numbers as an engine benchmark.** The + ~20× gap between Electron's ~250/s and WinHTTP/QuickJS's ~5000/s is the cost + of an async, serialized, cross-process API — not the V8 PAC engine being slow. + For engine-vs-engine, compare WinHTTP against the embedded QuickJS in + `pac_bench` (both ~170–200 µs, i.e. at parity). +- **Caching differs per engine.** WinHTTP keeps a session autoproxy cache, so + its steady-state `pac_bench` numbers reflect cache hits. Chromium generally + re-runs the PAC per resolution. The Rust `quickjs` path re-evaluates every + call but keeps the compiled script. For a raw eval-cost comparison, run every + tool in its cache-defeating mode (`--unique-hosts` here). For a realistic + "what a request pays" comparison, use the default modes. +- The `resolutions:` block printed before the timings lets you diff Chromium's + output against the Rust harness's `cross-check` output for the same URLs. + +Pinned to Electron 42.5.0 (the version VS Code currently ships); any recent +Electron works if you bump `package.json`. diff --git a/bench/electron/main.js b/bench/electron/main.js new file mode 100644 index 0000000..4b1d667 --- /dev/null +++ b/bench/electron/main.js @@ -0,0 +1,324 @@ +/*--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + * Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.
