At the moment, it takes about 200-300ms to load strong-globalize module.
$ cd packages/runtime
$ time node -e "require('.')"
real 0m0.312s
user 0m0.159s
sys 0m0.081s
This is makes it impractical to use strong-globalize-powered frameworks like LoopBack when new Node.js processes are frequently created, e.g.
- in serverless (function-as-a-service) settings
- when using test runners providing process-isolation, e.g. node-tap
- when testing CLI tooling scaffolding new projects and starting the scaffolded code as part of the test
