| # Protobuf Performance |
| This benchmark result is tested on workstation with processor of Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2630 and 32GB RAM |
| |
| This table contains 3 languages' results: |
| |
| * **C++** - For C++ there're 3 kinds of parsing ways: |
| * **new** - This is for using new operator for creating message instance. |
| * **new arena** - This is for using arena for creating new message instance. |
| * **reuse** - This is for reusing the same message instance for parsing. |
| * **Java** - For Java there're 3 kinds of parsing/Serialization ways: |
| * **byte[]** - This is for parsing from a Byte Array. |
| * **ByteString** - This is for parsing from a |
| com.google.protobuf.ByteString. |
| * **InputStream** - This is for parsing from a InputStream |
| * **Python** - For Pythong there're 3 kinds of python protobuf for testing: |
| * **C++-genereated-code** - This is for using cpp generated code of the |
| proto file as dynamic linked library. |
| * **C++-reflection** - This is for using cpp reflection, which there's no |
| generated code, but still using cpp protobuf library as dynamic linked |
| library. |
| * **pure-Python** - This is for pure Python version, which don't link with |
| any cpp protobuf library. |

| \* The cpp performance can be improved by using [tcmalloc](https://gperftools.github.io/gperftools/tcmalloc.html), please follow the (instruction)[https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/blob/master/benchmarks/README.md] to link with tcmalloc to get the faster result. |
