Ted Wilmes commented on TINKERPOP-965:
--------------------------------------
Further profiling has shown that the new long pole in the tent is the
{{PathRetractionStrategy}}. Strategy application is still running pretty
quickly so we're in pretty good shape but I'd like to make it faster. Due to
the complexity of the {{PathRetractionStrategy}} I will not risk introducing
issues with a refactor for this release but will target performance
improvements for 3.3.

> Key: TINKERPOP-965
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TINKERPOP-965
> Project: TinkerPop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: process
> Affects Versions: 3.1.0-incubating
> Reporter: Marko A. Rodriguez
> Assignee: Ted Wilmes
>
> From the work of [~twilmes], it appears that we can gain a lot by making
> {{Traversal.applyStrategies()}} as fast as possible. This is going to be
> especially important as we transition people away from using
> "Blueprints-methods" (e.g. {{Graph.addVertex()}} and {{Vertex.addEdge()}}) to
> "Gremlin-methods" (e.g. {{g.addV()}} and
> {{g.V().as('a').out().addE('knows').from('a')}}).
> Obviously the "Blueprints-methods" will always be faster given that they are
> direct calls to the underlying provider. However, they should not be so
> ridiculously faster that people won't use the "Gremlin-methods." Furthermore,
> given [~dkuppitz]'s recent work with {{BulkLoaderVertexProgram}} and soon
> TINKERPOP3-942, the "Gremlin-methods" will be the only way to get these
> features.
> In general, the work should go beyond the {{Mutation}}-steps and make it so
> that all traversals compile as fast as possible. The first step is to realize
> where things are slow and knock those out first....hopefully we realize some
> tricks!
