[jira] Resolved: (VELOCITY-606) Velocity 1.5 performance bottlenecks

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-606?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Nathan Bubna resolved VELOCITY-606.
-----------------------------------

       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s: 1.6

Ok, all patches provided for this issue so far have been committed.  So far as i can tell using Jarkko's testbench, the hotspots he identified at the top of this issue have all been cooled significantly.  Rather than continue using this as a catch-all for performance bottlenecks, i'm  marking this resolved and leaving remaining performance problems to their own JIRA issues (e.g. VELOCITY-607).

Jarkko, if you feel this issue is not resolved, please feel free to re-open!

> I did some quite extensive profiling to identify performance bottlenecks in Velocity 1.5.
> Using Maven 2, JUnitPerf and JRat I was able to identify these methods as top bottlenecks:
> org.apache.velocity.util.introspection	ClassMap - findMethod(String,Object[])
> org.apache.velocity.util.introspection	IntrospectorBase - getMethod(Class,String,Object[])
> org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.node	SimpleNode - literal()
> org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.node	SimpleNode - render(InternalContextAdapter,Writer)
> org.apache.commons.collections	ExtendedProperties - getBoolean(String,boolean)
> org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.node	ASTReference - render(InternalContextAdapter,Writer)
> The first two eat over 50% of the CPU with many threads. See attached screenshots.
> Interestingly enough the synchronized
> org.apache.velocity.runtime	RuntimeInstance	getTemplate(String,String)
> isn't a big problem when templates are cached. However, if all resources are not cached it becomes a serious performance bottleneck. ResourceCacheImpl also uses a synchronized map which slows things down.
> I think these bottlenecks could be at least made less worse by reducing synchronization by using ConcurrentHashMap and StringBuilder that ship with JDK 1.5. I'm investigating what kind of benefits could be achieved with those.
