## Summary
- Fix performance regression where `Response.json()` was 2-3x slower
than `JSON.stringify() + new Response()`
- Root cause: The existing code called `JSC::JSONStringify` with
`indent=0`, which internally passes `jsNumber(0)` as the space
parameter. This bypasses WebKit's FastStringifier optimization.
- Fix: Add a new `jsonStringifyFast` binding that passes `jsUndefined()`
for the space parameter, triggering JSC's FastStringifier
(SIMD-optimized) code path.
## Root Cause Analysis
In WebKit's `JSONObject.cpp`, the `stringify()` function has this logic:
```cpp
static NEVER_INLINE String stringify(JSGlobalObject& globalObject, JSValue value, JSValue replacer, JSValue space)
{
// ...
if (String result = FastStringifier<Latin1Character, BufferMode::StaticBuffer>::stringify(globalObject, value, replacer, space, failureReason); !result.isNull())
return result;
// Falls back to slow Stringifier...
}
```
And `FastStringifier::stringify()` checks:
```cpp
if (!space.isUndefined()) {
logOutcome("space"_s);
return { }; // Bail out to slow path
}
```
So when we called `JSONStringify(globalObject, value, (unsigned)0)`, it
converted to `jsNumber(0)` which is NOT `undefined`, causing
FastStringifier to bail out.
## Performance Results
### Before (3.5x slower than manual approach)
```
Response.json(): 2415ms
JSON.stringify() + Response(): 689ms
Ratio: 3.50x
```
### After (parity with manual approach)
```
Response.json(): ~700ms
JSON.stringify() + Response(): ~700ms
Ratio: ~1.09x
```
## Test plan
- [x] Existing `Response.json()` tests pass
(`test/regression/issue/21257.test.ts`)
- [x] Response tests pass (`test/js/web/fetch/response.test.ts`)
- [x] Manual verification that output is correct for various JSON inputs
Fixes #25693
