<ul><li>The Node.js Web Stream API has been available since Node.js 21, and it is the new standard for streams in Node.js.</li><li>A developer wanted to migrate their Node.js Stream API code to the Web Stream API, but before doing so, they decided to test the performance first.</li><li>After benchmarking the two versions, it was found that the Node.js Stream API performed significantly better than the Web Stream API, with the former completing the task in about 1.5 seconds and the latter taking about 35.5 seconds.</li><li>The profiling results showed that the traditional Stream API relies more on C++ execution, while the Web Stream API had a significant portion of execution time listed as 'Unaccounted,' indicating possible additional layers of abstraction.</li></ul>
