Since everything gets passed into JS as JSON, using a VM with native JSON parsing should be a big win.
Have you gotten any attention from the Mozilla people about the Solaris issue? They seem pretty eager to have their JS engine running in as many places as they can. It's more than a little disappointing that JavaScript is touted as a friendly and convenient way to query and transform data in Riak, but for the kind of data sizes that would have someone use Riak in the first place, JavaScript is really slow. So far I keep hearing, "Well, it'll be a lot faster and easier to just do it in Erlang." Obviously there will be some cost for the convenience writing code in a language other than Erlang, but the cost seems pretty high at the moment to me.
