> Compared to JEXL 2.1.1, arithmetic operations are slower in 3.0.
> The culprit is the logic around operators overloading; when the JexlArithmetic does not overload any operator, discovering whether it overloads one is repeated each time an interpreter is created (which is a costly introspection operation).
> As a workaround, one ca use an arithmetic that does overload an operator (for instance size) as in:
> {code}
>     public static class JMeterArithmetic extends JexlArithmetic {
>         public JMeterArithmetic(boolean astrict) {
>             super(astrict);
>         }
>         /**
>          * A workaround to create an operator overload
>          * @param jma an improbable parameter class
>          * @return 1
>          */
>         public int size(JMeterArithmetic jma) {
>             return 1;
>         }
>     }
> {code}
> And use an instance of that class at engine creation time as in:
> {code}
>         JexlEngine jexl = new JexlBuilder()
>                     .cache(512)
>                     .silent(true)
>                     .strict(true)
>                     .arithmetic(new JMeterArithmetic(true))
>                     .create();
> {code}
