i was intrigued by the very poor throughput of node.js on macos here, so i did a bit of digging.
results are on the gist below. should be easy to repro. i'll see if it's possible to work this into a PR for node.js or libuv.

highlights:
- with changes to libuv, node.js gets 25x faster on macos
- next version of Bun will be ~1.5x faster than this, so still room for removing some overhead in node.js
- lo runtime, which exposes event loop to JS, is 1.75x faster than patched Bun

The anime PFP is fairly accurate actually.
