i put it in another reply
all i did was move the create codec step to outside the loop
b.Run("gob.Encode", func(b *testing.B) {
var buf bytes.Buffer
enc := gob.NewEncoder(&buf)
for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
for _, evt := range events {
enc.Encode(evt)
// _ = buf.Bytes()
}
}
})
also as you can see to not actually access the buffer using buf.Bytes()
neither of these steps really reflect any distinctive part of the process, but i doubt that step takes more than a dozen nanoseconds
Don't you have to .Reset() the buffer or something like that? Otherwise you'll be appending to the same buffer over and over and it will get huge and reallocate all the time.
