James M Snell e6c9c8eecd stream: construct stream/iter byte view snapshots and batch entries
createBatchEntry() and recordChunk() snapshot every chunk in a
seven-property `{ __proto__: null, ... }` literal, and every batch gets
a `{ __proto__: null, views, byteLength }` record. V8 creates such
literals in dictionary mode, which is expensive for objects created
for every chunk.

Create them with constructors whose prototype is an empty, frozen,
null-prototype object instead, as for IterResult. They have fast
properties and a single shape, and are only used internally.

Writing 1e6 16-byte chunks into a push() stream and reading them back
is about 6x faster with writeSync(), 3.7x faster with writevSync() (4
chunks per call) and 1.7x faster with string chunks.
benchmark/streams/iter-throughput-share-sync.js improves by 67-93%,
iter-throughput-share.js by 4-8%, and iter-throughput-broadcast.js
with 4 consumers by 8%. pipeTo() with small chunks is about 1.5x
faster.

Internal Modules

The modules located in lib/internal directory are exclusively meant for internal usage within the Node.js core. They are not intended to be accessed via user modules require(). These modules may change at any point in time. Relying on these internal modules outside the core is not supported and can lead to unpredictable behavior.

In certain scenarios, accessing these internal modules for debugging or experimental purposes might be necessary. Node.js provides the --expose-internals flag to expose these modules to userland code. This flag only exists to assist Node.js maintainers with debugging internals. It is not meant for use outside the project.
