Slow indexing in firefox

[Robert Piosik]

Describe the bug

I noticed indexing is about 2.5x slower in firefox. Is it a known issue? Is firefox just this much slower or something can be done on orama side?

To Reproduce

• Launch Firefox
• Run indexing of a large dataset

Expected behavior

Indexing times should be about the same in all modern browsers.

Environment Info

Ubuntu 22.04
Firefox 120
Chrome 119

Affected areas

Initialization, Data Insertion

Hi @rpiosi,
Orama works best on V8 and JSC-powered runtimes, as the optimizations are well-known and easier to manage. Is the problem related to insertion only? How is the document schema structured?

const schema = {
  id: 'string',
  title: 'string',
  tag_ids: 'string[]',
  sites: 'string[]',
  sites_variants: 'string[]',
  tags: 'string[]',
  created_at: 'number',
  updated_at: 'number',
  visited_at: 'number',
  is_archived: 'boolean',
  is_unread: 'boolean',
  stars: 'number',
} as const

Chrome: 4s
Firefox: 12s

22k records, unix dates are in a month precision (day precision makes inserts in chrome take as long as firefox, ~12s).

Alright, I believe the problem is with UNIX dates. We already experienced this in some cases, let me see what the team can do and I'll get back to you in this issue
