Surely the size of the JSON payload matters for this benchmark. Just saying you can parse json in under 1 ms is somewhat meaningless unless you're comparing similar sized json documents, as well as marshalling into a user-supplied class.

And that's exactly what I'm comparing. This was the shock that came from the same data being loaded into android as ios being over an order of magnitude slower.

Interesting. What are you using for object marshalling on iOS? And which json processor are you using on your android benchmark? The referenced library?

Jackson (best performing) vs JSONKit. But Apple's is close enough as well.
