The 2ms it takes to run jq versus the 0.2ms to run an alternative is not why your coding agent feels slow.

Still, jq is run a whole lot more than it used to be due to coding agents, so every bit helps.

The vast majority of Linux kernel performance improvement patches probably have way less of a real world impact than this.

    unlikely given that the number they are multiplying by every improvement is far higher than "times jq is run in some pipeline". Even 0.1% improvement in kernel is probably far far higher impact than this
