Currently on each invocation of `URLClassPath.FileLoader.getResource()` `normalizedBase` URL is recalculated using same final `baseURL` from parent class. This can be avoided giving significant improvement in memory consumption. Consider the benchmark:
@State(Scope.Benchmark) @BenchmarkMode(Mode.AverageTime) @OutputTimeUnit(TimeUnit.NANOSECONDS) @Fork(jvmArgsAppend = {"-Xms2g", "-Xmx2g"}) public class URLClassPathBenchmark { private final ClassLoader classLoader = getClass().getClassLoader(); @Benchmark public URL getResource() { return classLoader.getResource("file:./config/application.properties"); } } it demonstrates improvement brought in by this patch: before Benchmark Mode Cnt Score Error Units URLClassPathBenchmark.getResource avgt 50 2840,746 ± 22,206 ns/op URLClassPathBenchmark.getResource:·gc.alloc.rate avgt 50 645,313 ± 8,072 MB/sec URLClassPathBenchmark.getResource:·gc.alloc.rate.norm avgt 50 2403,258 ± 17,639 B/op URLClassPathBenchmark.getResource:·gc.churn.G1_Eden_Space avgt 50 656,624 ± 116,090 MB/sec URLClassPathBenchmark.getResource:·gc.churn.G1_Eden_Space.norm avgt 50 2450,175 ± 440,011 B/op URLClassPathBenchmark.getResource:·gc.churn.G1_Survivor_Space avgt 50 0,123 ± 0,149 MB/sec URLClassPathBenchmark.getResource:·gc.churn.G1_Survivor_Space.norm avgt 50 0,459 ± 0,556 B/op URLClassPathBenchmark.getResource:·gc.count avgt 50 67,000 counts URLClassPathBenchmark.getResource:·gc.time avgt 50 117,000 ms after Benchmark Mode Cnt Score Error Units URLClassPathBenchmark.getResource avgt 100 2596,719 ± 9,786 ns/op URLClassPathBenchmark.getResource:·gc.alloc.rate avgt 100 448,780 ± 1,684 MB/sec URLClassPathBenchmark.getResource:·gc.alloc.rate.norm avgt 100 1528,040 ± 0,005 B/op URLClassPathBenchmark.getResource:·gc.churn.G1_Eden_Space avgt 100 479,905 ± 23,369 MB/sec URLClassPathBenchmark.getResource:·gc.churn.G1_Eden_Space.norm avgt 100 1634,314 ± 79,821 B/op URLClassPathBenchmark.getResource:·gc.churn.G1_Survivor_Space avgt 100 0,101 ± 0,097 MB/sec URLClassPathBenchmark.getResource:·gc.churn.G1_Survivor_Space.norm avgt 100 0,345 ± 0,329 B/op URLClassPathBenchmark.getResource:·gc.count avgt 100 98,000 counts URLClassPathBenchmark.getResource:·gc.time avgt 100 218,000 ms ------------- Commit messages: - 8274276: Cache normalizedBase URL in URLClassPath.FileLoader Changes: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/5677/files Webrev: https://webrevs.openjdk.java.net/?repo=jdk&pr=5677&range=00 Issue: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8274276 Stats: 4 lines in 1 file changed: 2 ins; 1 del; 1 mod Patch: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/5677.diff Fetch: git fetch https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk pull/5677/head:pull/5677 PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/5677
