Apples-to-apples since you can dump the same data to JSON. And shows why HN remains a unique place. Wonder out loud, and maybe get an answer within an update to the article you just read :)

So I was not able to get simdjson going in time, but I did dump my test payload to JSON. In protobuf the payload was 7506 bytes, in JSON 19283 bytes.

So parsing this particular payload at 2GB/s would be equivalent to parsing it at 5.1GB/s in JSON.
