    Summary: Optimize String concatenation performance  (was: Get rid of String.format usage)

> Optimize String concatenation performance

>                 Key: TAP5-2332
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-2332
>             Project: Tapestry 5
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>            Reporter: Michael Mikhulya
>            Assignee: Jochen Kemnade
>            Priority: Minor
>              Labels: performance

> During profiling I found that String.format provides much load on CPU.
> In many cases in Tapestry String.format can be easily replaced with simple String concatenation.
> Simple JMH (http://openjdk.java.net/projects/code-tools/jmh/) test
> {code:java}
> public class FormatVsConcat {
>     private static final String format = "This is a test string with %s";
>     private static final String concat1 = "This is a test string with ";
>     private static final String concat2 = "test word";
>     @GenerateMicroBenchmark
>     public String format() {
>         return String.format(format, concat2);
>     }
>     @GenerateMicroBenchmark
>     public String concat() {
>         return concat1 + concat2;
>     }
> }
> {code}
> shows, that concatenation is 366(!) times faster.
> I removed only hot places in tapestry and get following results with apache benchmark:
> *Not patched* tapestry version:
> Requests per second: *21.38 /sec* (mean)
> Time per request: *46.764 [ms]* (mean)
> *Patched* tapestry version:
> Requests per second: *27.77 /sec* (mean)
> Time per request: *36.013 [ms]* (mean)
> So we gained 10ms per request or 20% of rendering time.
> If you don't mind I would like to get rid of String.format in all places of Tapestry and provide patch. I fixed only hot places which appeared during ab-profiling of one concrete page. So it is very likely that not all hot places were found and fixed.
