Performance +wins achieved by a faster cache engine might not correlate with final build times in straightforward way. As usual with +performance, effect of performance optimizations should be carefully measured in real build like scenarios. + +## Hash algorithm selection + +By default, cache uses SHA-256 algorithm which is sufficiently fast and provides negligible probability of hash +collisions. In projects with large codebase, performance of hash algorithms becomes more important and in such +scenarios [XX](https://cyan4973.github.io/xxHash/) or XXMM (memory mapped files) hashing algorithms provide better +performance. + +```xml + +<hashAlgorithm>XX</hashAlgorithm> +``` + +or + +```xml + +<hashAlgorithm>XXMM</hashAlgorithm> +``` + +## Filter out unnecessary/huge artifacts + +Price of uploading and downloading from cache of huge artifacts could be significant. In many scenarios assembling war +or zip archive could be done more efficiently locally from cached jars than storing bundles.
