[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-639?page=comments#action_12425563 ] Yonik Seeley commented on LUCENE-639: -------------------------------------
> Yonik, please let me know where you think the test that I provided is flawed. Tests are always flawed :-) If our tests don't exactly agree, It doesn't mean one is incorrect. I already had a little test framework from before so I used that... it doesn't mean there is anything wrong with your tests, but more validation is better. If there is one thing in your tests that I think could perhaps be improved, it's the distribution of VInts. Testing 1 byte vints separately from 2 byte vints, etc, will yield different results than testing a realistic mix because of processor branch prediction. I really want to test with a real Lucene index (I've already started coming up with a simple test). That will be a better real-world test IMO, and trump both of our current test frameworks. > [PATCH] Slight performance improvement for readVInt() of IndexInput > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-639 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-639 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Index > Affects Versions: 2.0.0 > Reporter: Johan Stuyts > Priority: Minor > Attachments: Lucene2ReadVIntPerformance.patch, readVInt performance > results.pdf, ReadVIntPerformanceMain.java > > > By unrolling the loop in readVInt() I was able to get a slight, about 1.8 %, > performance improvement for this method.
