You might also move to something other than JSON if parsing it is a significant part of your workload.

Most of the times I’ve had to deal with JSON performance issues, it involved a 3rd party API and JSON was the only option.

If you’re building something net-new and know you’ll have these problems out the gate, something other than JSON might be feasible, but the moment some other system not in the closed loop needs to work with the data, you’re back to JSON and any associated perf issues.
