Jay Kreps commented on KAFKA-3565:
----------------------------------
[~becket_qin] Yeah I think you are saying something like "previously a 100 byte
record had 16 bytes of overhead, now it has 24 so naturally it's slower". The
reason I find that surprising is because in the 100 byte range we have always
been bound by the per-record overhead not the raw throughput. You can see this
in that in this range we max out at around 30MB/sec versus with larger records
we max out closer to 100MB/sec. But for small records the raw number of them
per second is crazy high so any per-record work, no matter how small, even
little things like acquiring a lock or checking the clock, can have outsized
performance impact since we're trying to do it 800k-1m times per second. We saw
this last release where we added a few clock checks and it lead to a very
significant perf drop in the producer. This magnification means adding
something that is only 100ns to the per-record overhead, which normally is in
the range of "free", is magnified to something like a 10% overhead in the small
record regime.

> Relative offsets were introduced by KIP-31 so that the broker does not have
> to recompress data (this was previously required after offsets were
> assigned). The implicit assumption is that reducing CPU usage required by
> recompression would mean that producer throughput for compressed data would
