I don't understand this post or why it is upvoted. Where's the trick? What does the trick do? It feels like half of the post is missing.
It seems like it boils down to use oj[0] as a parser I think...

That's not a trick. That's "use a faster library".

I guess the trick might be "always profile, because performance bottlenecks might not be where you expect".

The trick is writing something completely uninteresting and getting people to talk about it on HN anyway.
I'd like to see jackson[1] added into this comparison, just to have something to compare them with.
