this is about something different. What I was talking about is that no special
attributes like StackMaps are necessary for the verification.

Sure. I'm going to measure e.g. verification tine for all the Harmony classes
and publish the results. Not sure if I could compare Eclipse starting time:
on my machine it starts instantly on both verifiers
I did some measurements. I took all the classes in Harmony JRE and passed
them thru a microbenchmark. Something like that:
long total = System.currentTimeMillis();
for (int i=0; i<cnt; i++) {
cl = kl.defineKlass(clsNames[i], clsBytes[i]);
cl.getConstructors();
}
total = System.currentTimeMillis() - total;
Each new class was loaded by a new custom classloader (because of that
both RI and Harmony failed to load some of the classes - I removed
them from the list).
For fair comparision I've also removed classes that contain jsr instructions.
Finally I've got 7350 classes, I loaded them with BEA 1.5, Harmony-pure, and
Harmony + alt verifier
The results are:
with -Xverify option:
BEA 1.5: 2734
Harmony alt verifier : 1734
Harmony pure: 2344
with -noverify option:
BEA 1.5: 813
Harmony alt verifier : 1297
Harmony pure: 1297
So the differences are:
BEA 1.5 1.9 sec
Alt verifier: 0.4 sec
Harmony pure: 1.0 sec
