Benchmarking Nostr event parsing in JavaScript ("leaner" means a very simple and performant binary format):
If these results are right (I'm not sure they are) that means JavaScript is very not-great-at-all dealing with binary things and if Nostr events were designed to be binary from the get go that would entail a massive performance loss for web, react-native and JavaScript clients of all sorts.
