Speed up non-ISO calendar tests about 6x
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
I was wrong about what was making non-ISO calendars so slow. I
thought the problem was `formatToParts()`, but it turns out that the
`DateTimeFormat` constructor is really slow and also allocates
ridiculous amounts of RAM. See more details here:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/v8/issues/detail?id=6528

@littledan in https://bugs.chromium.org/p/v8/issues/detail?id=6528#c4
recommended to cache DateTimeFormat instances, so that's what this
commit does.

The result is a 6x speedup in non-ISO calendar tests.
Before: 6398.83ms
After: 1062.26ms

A similar speedup is likely for `ES.GetCanonicalTimeZoneIdentifier`.
Caching time zone canonicalization (in a separate PR) should have
a big positive impact on ZonedDateTIme and TimeZone perf.

Many thanks to @fer22f for uncovering this optimization in
js-temporal/temporal-polyfill#7.
