Description

The performance of jsonwebtoken 9.0.2 is 50 times slower than 8.5.1, mainly in the HS256 algorithm.
The encoding speed has slowed down by 53 times, and the decoding speed by 34 times.

8.5.1 benchmark results

Encoding
HS256 x 120,423 ops/sec ±0.33% (91 runs sampled)
RS256 x 793 ops/sec ±0.50% (94 runs sampled)
ES256 x 2,418 ops/sec ±0.99% (94 runs sampled)
Fastest encoder is HS256

Decoding
HS256 x 87,990 ops/sec ±0.93% (95 runs sampled)
RS256 x 5,921 ops/sec ±0.89% (93 runs sampled)
ES256 x 4,763 ops/sec ±0.77% (94 runs sampled)
Fastest decoder is HS256
