How much overhead is using emulated stack in GWT?
emulation, gwt, java, performance
Solution
I don't have any data on execution speed, but Googler David Chandler stated in this discussion that removing stack info can reduce compiled JS size by as much as 15%.
`<set-property name="compiler.stackMode" value="strip"/>`
Problem
I'm considering using GWT's emulated stack in web-mode and I wanted to hear, based on people's experience how much performance overhead it added? From what I read in the above link all of the overhead is the couple of arrays and their handling as a stack which is very reasonable in my eyes. I just want to make sure there's no cat in the bag. Also, a reasonable increase in the size of the js files is ok by me as my users connect to very long sessions and can wait the few additional ms. Thanks, Ittai
