The buffer and utf-8 encoding implementation in browser was using the heap and
text-encoding-utf-8
library respectively. This process was really slower than in nodejs. For example, a string with 85000 length was taking 180 seconds to serialize in the browser, the same string takes milliseconds to be serialised in nodejs.This performance issue was resolved by using the libraries
buffer
andstring_decoder
, libraries which is already available in nodejs, also in browser. This substitution bring the serialisation of the 85000 length string to take only 350 ms when it's done in browser.The
text-encoding-utf-8
was removed from the project dependency in the process.
