# Protobuf Perforamcne
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/google/protobuf/blob/master/benchmarks/README.md] to link with tcmalloc to get the faster result.
