[jira] [Commented] (CB-1478) FileReader vs XHR bench

["Daniel Kurka (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1478?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13460056#comment-13460056 ] 

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.

> 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.
