<p>Following JMH micro-benchmark shows 50x improvement in JSON
structural character lookup using new Vector.selectFrom API which
can operate on 128 byte lookup table.</p>

<div dir="auto">The developer experimenting with vectors has been
running 21, so I did suggest to him recently to try newer
releases or dev builds. I'm out of office right now but hoping
to spend some time in the next week running this through a
profiler to see if other missed optimizations are interfering
with the vectorized version of the code.

Hi Daniel,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for sharing. We have made progress optimizing
the rearrange/selectFrom operations for UTF-8 related uses
cases. The improvements were integrated into JDK release
24 [0].</div>
<div>
<div>Further optimizations are in flight for slice
operations with constant inputs [1], which I believe can
simplify the referenced code and may further boost
performance, but we need to verify.</div>

<div>After seeing similar work done for the C
version of the Ruby json standard library, I
suggested to the author that we could do the
same for JRuby using the Vector API. So he
went and did it!</div>

<div>The results are somewhat mixed;
performance of some cases is faster and
other cases is slower. We would love to get
input from anyone on this list interested in
seeing another real-world use case for the
Vector API.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm hopeful we can pump up these numbers
with some additional tweaking in JRuby and
json.</div>
