Thiago H. de Paula Figueiredo commented on TAP5-2332: ----------------------------------------------------- Michael, we'll apply the patches we think are good. As I said in my message above, me and Lance are still a bit reluctant because we need to know what exactly are the lines with large running times to optimize them, because optimizing the others will have an insignificant improvement. Regarding usage of a char array, then this is about trying to be smarter than the JVM implementers and the many years they spent optimizing them. That would be a surefire premature optimization. The Java API string classes are already very optimized. Just the usage of them in certain parts of Tapestry isn't, and that's your contribution here. > Get rid of String.format usage > ------------------------------ > > Key: TAP5-2332 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-2332 > Project: Tapestry 5 > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Michael Mikhulya > Priority: Minor > Labels: performance > Attachments: 0001-TAP5-2332-get-rid-of-String.format-usage.patch > > > During profiling I found that String.format provides much load on CPU. > In many cases in Tapestry String.format can be easily replaced with simple > String concatenation. > Simple JMH (http://openjdk.java.net/projects/code-tools/jmh/) test > {code:java} > public class FormatVsConcat { > private static final String format = "This is a test string with %s"; > private static final String concat1 = "This is a test string with "; > private static final String concat2 = "test word"; > @GenerateMicroBenchmark > public String format() { > return String.format(format, concat2); > } > @GenerateMicroBenchmark > public String concat() { > return concat1 + concat2; > } > } > {code} > shows, that concatenation is 366(!) times faster. > I removed only hot places in tapestry and get following results with apache > benchmark: > *Not patched* tapestry version: > Requests per second: *21.38 /sec* (mean) > Time per request: *46.764 [ms]* (mean) > *Patched* tapestry version: > Requests per second: *27.77 /sec* (mean) > Time per request: *36.013 [ms]* (mean) > So we gained 10ms per request or 20% of rendering time. > If you don't mind I would like to get rid of String.format in all places of > Tapestry and provide patch. I fixed only hot places which appeared during > ab-profiling of one concrete page. So it is very likely that not all hot > places were found and fixed. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
