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
Jq is run a ton by AIs, and that is only increasing.
I can't take seriously any talk about performance if the tools are going to shell out. It's just not a bottleneck.
