Previously, V8's slice was implemented in a combination of C++ and a Javascript fallback. The disadvantage of this approach was that the fast-path required a call through the CEntryStub, which introduced considerable overhead for small arrays with fast elements kinds. Now the implementation primarily uses the CSA to generate both the full spec-complaint implementation as well as fast paths for argument objects and arrays with fast elements kinds. The CSA implementation uses a C++ implementation fallback in select situations where the the complexity of a CSA implementation would be too great and the CEntryStub overhead is not decisive (e.g. slices of dictionary elements arrays). Performance results on semi-random arrays with small number of elements (old vs. new): smi copy: 48.7 ms vs. 12 ms smi slice: 43.5 ms 14.8 ms object copy: 35.5 ms 7.7 ms object slice: 38.7 ms 8.8 ms dictionary slice: 2398.3 ms vs. 5.4 ms fast sloppy arguments slice: 9.6 ms vs. 7.2 ms slow sloppy arguments slice: 28.9 ms vs. 8.5 ms As a bonus, the new implementation is fully spec-compliant and fixes at least one existing bug.
