[jira] [Created] (CB-1478) FileReader vs XHR bench
Brian LeRoux created CB-1478:
--------------------------------
Summary: FileReader vs XHR bench
Key: CB-1478
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1478

Components: Android, BlackBerry, iOS, WP7
Affects Versions: 2.2.0
Reporter: Brian LeRoux
Assignee: Joe Bowser
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 2.2.0
Long standing rumor that FileReader is/was faster than XHR debunked at PhoneGap Day EU. Before we do anything to optimize our i/o, we need some actual science on which is faster, on which platforms.

-------------------------------------
Prototype of FileReader using XHR is available here:
https://github.com/macdonst/incubator-cordova-js/commit/4c0134b827386d028f53370b3f5006b222939e26
What is left to be done is convert the HTML status codes to W3C File API error codes. This passes all the mobile spec File API test cases except "should error out on non-existent file" as the error code is not right.

Simon MacDonald commented on CB-1478:
-------------------------------------
Okay, using the old way of communicating between the native and JS layers I was getting numbers in line with Daniel. After taking his test project and building it into an .apk with the latest changes from Andrew/Joe, basically and edge build I'm seeing:
100kb w/xhr: 54ms
100kb w/FileReader: 182ms
1M w/xhr: 96ms
1M w/FileReader: 790ms
So the new bridge helps but xhr is still faster. Also, if we think that as the file size increases that using the FileReader will get exponentially worse then switching to xhr seems like a real win.
Mind you let's see what other platforms report.

-------------------------------------
[~dankurka] that is some good info but I would suggest two things:
1) Can you publish the src of your test so others can look at it.
2) We will need to retest now that the default bridge has been changed on Android. That itself should make things much faster.

Daniel Kurka commented on CB-1478:
----------------------------------
I drafted a small benchmark (so far only for android) to demonstrate the issue. XHR is somewhat 12 to 80 times faster compared to FileReader.
Some results from my Nexus S with Android 4.1:
100kB with XHR took: 9ms
100kB with FileReader took: 446ms
1MB with XHR took: 37ms
1MB with FileReader took: 2664ms
The code for the benchmark can be found here: https://github.com/dankurka/cordova-io-benchmark
I have also attached an apk file that should run on many devices so we can get a better feeling.

-----------------------------
The benchmark kinda works on bb, but needs some tweaking still. Anyhow, some numbers:
On my bb9900 running OS7:
100kB w/xhr: 75ms
100kB w/FileReader: 305ms
1MB w/XHR: 249ms
1MB w/FileReader: error'd out.
