> [COSDictionary.MAP_THRESHOLD|https://github.com/apache/pdfbox/blob/trunk/pdfbox/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/cos/COSDictionary.java#L54]
> controls which Map class is used to optimize memory usage. By default, a
> SmallMap is used. However, if the number of items in a COSDictionary reaches
> the MAP_THRESHOLD value (hardcoded to 1,000), the references [are copied
> |https://github.com/apache/pdfbox/blob/trunk/pdfbox/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/cos/COSDictionary.java#L208]to
> a LinkedHashMap.
> For larger documents, where the COSDictionary is expected to be substantial
> bigger than this limit, this copying occurs frequently. Additionally,
> [SmallMap.keySet is not
> efficient|https://github.com/apache/pdfbox/blob/trunk/pdfbox/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/util/SmallMap.java#L281].
> The attached screenshot shows pdfbox performance with SmallMap (in red)
> versus using LinkedHashMap, ignoring the threshold (in green).
> *Would it be beneficial to allow MAP_THRESHOLD to be defined as a System
> property?*
> If set to 0, LinkedHashMap would be used. If not set, it would default to the
> current MAP_THRESHOLD value and SmallMap, not changing the current behaviour.
