CouchDB Update Brings QuickJS Engine Option - 4~5x Faster Than SpiderMonkey
Apache CouchDB 3.4.1 was released today after the developers decided at the last minute before releasing CouchDB 3.4 to drop automatic upgrading of password hashes..
The CouchDB 3.4 series brings a number of performance improvements, QuickJS as an alternative to the SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine, and other enhancements. CouchDB 3.4 brings QuickJS as a new JavaScript engine option that is smaller than SpiderMonkey, can be built with CouchDB, provides better sandboxing, and can be 4~5x faster than SpiderMonkey while enjoying a 6x reduction in memory usage. The CouchDB 3.4 series also optionally allows replacing MD5 with xxHash for data integrity checksums that can be around 30% faster on larger docs.
