Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Key: RUNTIME-51
    Summary: SimpleFIFO in Merlin implementation wastes CPU cycles
       Type: Improvement

     Status: Open
   Priority: Major

    Project: Merlin Runtime
 Components: 
             CORE
   Versions:
             3.4.0

   Assignee: Stephen McConnell
   Reporter: Carel Paradis

    Created: Sun, 15 Aug 2004 1:22 PM
    Updated: Sun, 15 Aug 2004 1:22 PM

Description:
The class SimpleFifo in the Merlin implementation wastes CPU cycles every 100 ms. The method get verify if the queue is no longer empty every 100 ms instead of waiting to be notified when a new element is added to the queue. Also, the put method notifies all waiting threads instead of notifying only one thread. It is not necessary to notify all threads because if many threads are waiting, then only one can get the newly added element.

The following file must be updated: trunk\runtime\merlin\impl\src\java\org\apache\avalon\merlin\impl\SimpleFIFO.java

Apply the following patch:

[jira] Closed: (RUNTIME-51) SimpleFIFO in Merlin implementation wastes CPU cycles

The amount of CPU cycles "wasted" is neglible. Combined with the extra "safety" against deadlocks, I intend to keep the current implementation.
