Assuming you're testing on Windows, node-chakracore is currently released as a beta, so Node 10 is probably the more appropriate comparison.

Is that really worth it, though? What's the support like for chakracore?

it's a build process. it should be fine.

Can you share more details on this build workload? Like what does it do? what packages it uses ? etc.

Can you even measure 3% accurately and repeatedly?
