I'm working with a code that handles all AJAX requests using Web Workers (when available). These workers do almost nothing more than XMLHttpRequest object handling (no extra computations). All requests created by workers are asynchronous (request.open("get",url,true)).
Recently, I got couple of issues regarding this code and I started to wonder if I should spend time fixing this or just dump the whole solution.
My research so far suggests that this code may be actually hurting performance. However, I wasn't able to find any credible source supporting this. My only two findings are:
Can someone point me to a reliable source discussing this issue? Or, are there any benchmarks that may dispel my doubts?
[EDIT] This question gets a little bit more interesting when WebWorker is also responsible for parsing the result (JSON.parse). Is asynchronous parsing improving performance?
I have created a proper benchmark for that on jsperf. Depending on the browser, WebWorker approach is 85-95% slower than a raw ajax call.
Notes:
new XMLHttpRequest() and JSON.parse(jsonString);. There are no real AJAX calls being made.本文收集自互联网，转载请注明来源。
