Gary Gregory commented on XALANJ-2607:
--------------------------------------
I think we should raise the platform requirements for Xalan to at least Java 7
if not 8.
> Performance improvement for large documents using ID attributes
> ---------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: XALANJ-2607
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2607
> Project: XalanJ2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: No security risk; visible to anyone(Ordinary problems in
> Xalan projects. Anybody can view the issue.)
> Components: DTM
> Affects Versions: 2.7.2
> Environment: Tested on but not limited to: Windows, x64, JRE 1.8
> Reporter: Matthias Urban
> Assignee: Steven J. Hathaway
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: DTMStringPool.patch

> XalanJ gets very slow for large XML documents using ID attributes often used
> in article lists. If, for instance, an article list with 1.000.000 entries is
> parsed, then it takes 6 minutes (on my machine) just to build the DTM. This
> is due to a design decision in DTMStringPool utilizing a fixed size hash
> table of 101 entries. This works astoundingly well for documents with less
> than 10.000 different attribute values. Then it starts to get slower and
> slower.
> I've tested multiple solutions, like to increase the hash table size to
> 100.000 and 1.000.000 (overkill for everyday documents), or make it
> configurable leaving the current size the default (needs to introduce a
> 'backdoor' system property). In the end the best solution was to use a simple
> HashMap for the string lookup. It proved to be as fast as the fixed size
> table combined with a very good scalability. See the patch attached to this
> issue. It was created using the current trunk version of DTMStringPool.java.
> Here is an example for testing. Without the patch applied it takes about 6
> minutes to finish. With the patch applied it only takes 3 seconds!
