> GString performance is slow with String's method
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-6360

> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: groovy-jdk
> Affects Versions: 2.1.7
> Reporter: Linh Pham
> Assignee: Paul King
> Priority: Minor

> GString implementation of String's method is very expensive. With trim(), it
> can be 10 times slower than String's counterpart.
> *Steps to reproduce:*
> A small test program showed GString.trim() is 10 times slower than
> String.trim().
> {code}
> def a = " content "
> def b = " ${'content'} "
> println "a class: ${a.class}" //output: class java.lang.String
> println "b class: ${b.class}" //output: class
> org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.GStringImpl
> long start = System.currentTimeMillis()
> 10000000.times {
> a.trim()
> }
> println "String trim completed in ${System.currentTimeMillis() - start} ms."
> //output *909* ms
> start = System.currentTimeMillis()
> 10000000.times {
> b.trim()
> }
> println "GString trim completed in ${System.currentTimeMillis() - start} ms."
> //output: *9321 *ms
> {code}
> We can get around the problem by calling toString() on GString before
> invoking methods, BUT it should be supported inside the Groovy runtime.
