> In benchmarks involving tables with very wide and complex schemas (thousands
> of columns, deep nesting), I noticed that significant amounts of time (order
> of tens of seconds per task) were being spent generating comments during the
> code generation phase.
> The root cause of the performance problem stems from the fact that calling
> {{toString()}} on a complex expression can involve thousands of string
> concatenations, resulting in huge amounts (tens of gigabytes) of character
> array allocation and copying (see attached profiler screenshots)
> In the long term, we can avoid this problem by passing StringBuilders down
> the tree and using them to accumulate output. In the short term, however, I
> think that we should just disable comments in the generated code by default
> since very long comments are typically not useful debugging aids (since
> they're truncated for display anyways).
