Node.js

JavaScript runtime.

Startup speed

Node.js is usually loaded. I don’t worry too much about itself.

• When running JavaScript, it can take time to read and execute lengths of modules and modules.
  • It’s usually only ever the filesystem being the bottleneck. Evident where subsequent runs perform faster.
    • In which, bundling seems to be a solution?
      • esbuild.
        • Does state that external dependencies are usually not bundled.
          • is smart-buffer problematic?
  • NODE_COMPILE_DIR.
    • Unable to tell how much this actually does improves loading.
