`{ restructuring: true }` performs worse in both speed and size (after compression) benchmarks

Open tbjgolden opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

Ran some benchmarks against different minifiers and discovered that the restructuring can actually perform worse after compression, and even if it sometimes is better - it runs much slower.

Two main points:

  • Perhaps it might be worth considering changing the default to false?
  • Perhaps the focus should be redirected towards actual compression speed vs compression ratio as there is more room for improvement there

some added context: general purpose compression is used on 85% of websites according to: https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/ce-compression
