Tapestry (5.3) Assembly performance
Hi,
a while ago I wrote here about assembly performance in our tapestry app
(The thread was titled "Speed up page compiling").
Unfortunately until now I did not found the time to track this or to
exctract a test case that shows the problem. Now I created a
minimalistic tapetry app that shows the problem:
If a Tapestry page consists of lots of components, the first page load
after a change takes lot of time. If you reload the page in the browser,
it loads incredible fast. So it's a problem that occurs during page
assembly.
The attached page uses only 18 unique components which are nested and
multiplied that way. This reflects a real-world application that
consists of lot of "high level" components (e.g. page parts) that are
assembled by using "lower level components" (e.g. forms or tables) which
are assembled by "low level components" like buttons, labels, ... which
bring their own css assets.
If I load the page the first time, it takes ~30 seconds on my machine to
assemble. Subsequent page loads takes <1 second until I change one of
the components or the page.
If I remove all css assets, loading time is reduced to ~10-15 seconds.
Do you see any chance to speed up assembly here (e.g. by introducing
some development cache or so)?
Regards,
Michael.
Re: Tapestry (5.x) Assembly performance - Effect of the ImportWorker
Posted by Michael Wyraz <mi...@evermind.de>.
In my Test application the assembly time is reduced a lot by removing
all the assets that are imported using @Import annotation.
To show the difference in my real world application, I simply override
ImportWorker with a class that does absolute nothing.
The effect is:
55s assembly time with ImportWorker vs.
35s assembly time without ImportWorker
So, the effect here is significant but in the real world application
there are lots of other workers that have effect on page assembly.
This offers 2 different strategies:
1. Making the workers faster.
This is possible for ImportWorker, e.g. by caching asset lookups. But
it's almost impossible to do it for all workers.
2. Cache parts of the assembled page tree
This is IMO the most promising optimization. Either each part of a page
might be cached and if something is changed only this part is re-assembled.
Or otherwise the instrumented components are cached for re-use (e.g. a
button is only instrumented once and this is re-used on every occurence).
What do you think about this?
Regards,
Michael.

I have changed my app to use tapestry 5.4-alpha-22. Now the first page
load takes ~1 minute!
Subsequent page loads require ~1.5-2 seconds.
