Re: Performance

[Eric Johnson]

My read on Odi's statistics is that the patch has a pretty consistent 
1ms impact on every request.  This corresponds pretty well with my 
understanding of the theoretical improvements behind the patch.  To the 
effect that HttpClient's performance is affected, header parsing will be 
faster, and reading the body of the connection will be roughly the same, 
presumably because the client of HttpClient buffers large reads.

On a 1Ghz machine, this patch means one million processor cycles that 
can be put to a better use for *each* request.  That's more than 
benchmark optimization, I think.

Eric,
This patch makes a difference for only relatively small payloads when
the response content is about the size of the status line + headers. In
most (real life) cases the performance gain is virtually negligible.
This is more about benchmark optimization than anything else. 

Yet, it see no problem with another point release

I don't know whether this would be a premature time to call for a new 
release, but the prospect of significantly better performance out of 
HttpClient has some people in my company very interested.

What are the chances of a 2.0.2 release with this fix in it?  (I'm 
willing to build from the source, but others in my company like the idea 
of an "official" build perhaps more than they need to.)
