Hi Restlet Community, We've been doing some performance profiling of our system, which uses Restlet 1.1-M4 to handle resquests. We noticed that org.restlet.util.ByteUtils.toString(Reader) is costing us about 40% of our runtime.
We took a peek at the source code and realized this method is reading in the payload character-by-character. So this method also stands out in our profile in terms of invocation count on java.lang.StringBuilder.append()... we see literally millions of calls to append() since it's making a call per character of payload. So we're wondering if it might be better for this to create a very large buffer and read everything into that at once? Also, is there a reason that it's dealing with characters rather than bytes? Many thanks for any insights into this...! Best wishes, Aaron
