Thomas Heigl commented on WICKET-6774:
--------------------------------------
Hi [~papegaaij]:
I fully agree with your analysis. There is some room for improvement within the
current state management but there are no low hanging fruits and decisions have
to be based on real usage.
A rough estimate for my application:
||State||Components||Description||
|Model|50%|
|Behavior|15-25%|Mostly {{AjaxLink}} and{{AttributeAppender}}|
|Metadata|1%|Mostly because of {{setMarkupId()}}|
So metadata would be an obvious target for a flag in our case.
Can someone else share their estimates as well?

> Key: WICKET-6774
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-6774
> Project: Wicket
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: wicket-core
> Affects Versions: 9.0.0-M5
> Reporter: Thomas Heigl
> Priority: Major
>
> While investigating performance issues with metadata in WICKET-6771, I
> discovered that significant performance gains can be achieved by separating
> models, behaviors, and metadata into separate fields.
> Currently, all three types of data are stored in a single, untyped field
> {{Component.data}}. The idea is to minimize memory overhead by creating as
> few objects as possible.
> If a model or a single behavior or metadata is added, {{data}} stores only a
> reference to the object. When additional data is added, the reference becomes
> an array.
> This is the most memory-efficient way to store these three types of data. But
> it comes with a cost: code to manipulate that data structure is complex and
> not as efficient because it has to take all possible combinations of data
> into account.
> I suggest introducing 3 separate fields for the 3 types of data, trading a
> little bit of memory for reduced complexity and performance gains.
