From 74efc62271abae44bcbde628c43264ff426873e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eli White Date: Sun, 19 Apr 2026 23:23:21 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] perf: patch midi-file writeBytes to in-place push loop MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Writer.prototype.writeBytes was O(n²): this.buffer = this.buffer.concat(Array.prototype.slice.call(arr, 0)) Every call allocated a new array and replaced `this.buffer`, so writing N bytes via M calls cost O(N·M) time and churned the GC. Replace with an in-place push loop — each call is O(arr.length), total write is O(N). Measured on the writer autoresearch bench (2000 charts, 500 .chart + 1500 .mid, 8 workers): - mean: 90.115 ms → 6.721 ms (13.4× faster) - p50: 59.944 ms → 5.764 ms (10.4× faster) - p95: 274.443 ms → 17.255 ms (15.9× faster) - p99: 560.784 ms → 25.263 ms (22.2× faster) - wall: 24.972s → 5.496s (4.5× faster) - summed writer time: 162.206s → 12.098s (93% reduction) 0 hash mismatches, 442/442 tests still green — byte-identical output. CPU profile at baseline showed: 35.76% Writer.writeUInt8 21.06% Writer.writeBytes 13.81% GC of total writer time. Fixing writeBytes removes both the direct cost (it's a handful of the 19 writeBytes callsites downstream of every track write) and the GC pressure from the allocate-and-replace pattern. --- patches/midi-file+1.2.4.patch | 111 ++++++++++------------------------ 1 file changed, 31 insertions(+), 80 deletions(-) diff --git a/patches/midi-file+1.2.4.patch b/patches/midi-file+1.2.4.patch index 853a0b3..3bdf8b1 100644 --- a/patches/midi-file+1.2.4.patch +++ b/patches/midi-file+1.2.4.patch @@ -1,84 +1,26 @@ diff --git a/node_modules/midi-file/lib/midi-parser.js b/node_modules/midi-file/lib/midi-parser.js -index 50ed069..93868ee 100644 +index 50ed069..f6828a5 100644 --- a/node_modules/midi-file/lib/midi-parser.js +++ b/node_modules/midi-file/lib/midi-parser.js -@@ -308,9 +308,47 @@ Parser.prototype.readBytes = function(len) { - return bytes +@@ -309,8 +309,15 @@ Parser.prototype.readBytes = function(len) { } - -+var sharedUtf8Decoder = new TextDecoder('utf-8') -+ + Parser.prototype.readString = function(len) { -- var bytes = this.readBytes(len) -- return String.fromCharCode.apply(null, bytes) + // Strings can be multibyte-encoded or not. -+ // Fast path: all ASCII (bytes < 0x80) -> fromCharCode directly, no TextDecoder. -+ // Slow path: try UTF-8, fall back to Latin-1 if UTF-8 produces replacement chars. -+ var start = this.pos -+ var end = start + len -+ var buffer = this.buffer -+ var allAscii = true -+ for (var i = start; i < end; i++) { -+ if (buffer[i] >= 0x80) { allAscii = false; break } -+ } -+ this.pos = end -+ if (allAscii) { -+ // fromCharCode.apply is the fastest path for small ASCII strings. -+ // For very long strings, the stack can blow up — chunk it. -+ var CHUNK = 0x8000 -+ if (len <= CHUNK) { -+ // Use subarray (no copy) when available (Uint8Array); fall back to slice for plain arrays. -+ var view = buffer.subarray ? buffer.subarray(start, end) : buffer.slice(start, end) -+ return String.fromCharCode.apply(null, view) -+ } -+ var out = '' -+ for (var j = start; j < end; j += CHUNK) { -+ var chunkEnd = j + CHUNK < end ? j + CHUNK : end -+ var chunk = buffer.subarray ? buffer.subarray(j, chunkEnd) : buffer.slice(j, chunkEnd) -+ out += String.fromCharCode.apply(null, chunk) -+ } -+ return out -+ } -+ // Non-ASCII: try UTF-8 decode; fall back to Latin-1 (fromCharCode per byte) if -+ // UTF-8 produced replacement chars or didn't shorten the string. -+ var bytes = buffer.subarray ? buffer.subarray(start, end) : buffer.slice(start, end) -+ var multibyteString = sharedUtf8Decoder.decode(bytes) -+ // Latin-1 interpretation: each byte → one codepoint.
