[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-287?page=comments#action_12444492 ] Henri Yandell commented on LANG-287: ------------------------------------
Holger's suggestion does seem to happily resolve Gary's problem. Under 1.5, with 1000 iterations of a 100,000 length String (no &s), things are optimised from 10 seconds to a third of a second. So a good order of magnitude plus improvement there. If I place 10,000 '>'s in the 100,000 length String, the time remains at just over 10 seconds for both. So no noticeable change there. > Optimize StringEscapeUtils.unescapeXml(String) > ---------------------------------------------- > > Key: LANG-287 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-287 > Project: Commons Lang > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 2.2 > Reporter: Stepan Koltsov > Priority: Minor > Attachments: > commons-lang-unescape-performace-stepancheg-2006-10-24.diff > > > StringEscapeUtils.unescapeXml(String) (and other unescaes) works too slowly > if String has nothing to unescape, that is very common situation. > To make unescape faster, following check should be added to be start of > Entities.unescape(str) > if (str.indexOf('&') < 0) > return str; -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
