V8 is almost never faster than a warm JVM, especially once you get to heap sizes bigger than a couple GB.

You can't even store more than 14m or so keys in a map in Node w/o reaching for an off heap solution due to hard limits in the runtime...

If needed you can make your own map that doesn't let you down: https://www.npmjs.com/package/infinity-map
