A comment on Node v9.8.0.

Just finished benchmarking this for a key workload in our build process. It's 3% faster than Node 8.x for us. But node-chakracore (the Microsoft runtime) 8.9.4 was 11% faster -- we are considering switching to that.

Assuming you're testing on Windows, node-chakracore is currently released as a beta, so Node 10 is probably the more appropriate comparison.

Is that really worth it, though? What's the support like for chakracore?

Can you share more details on this build workload? Like what does it do? what packages it uses ? etc.

Can you even measure 3% accurately and repeatedly?
