Maxim Zinal updated JCR-3721:
-----------------------------

    Description: 
I performed some JackRabbit profiling while trying to investigate the reason of 
low performance of our application.

The mostly interesting thing I've found is that NodeId.toString() method is 
heavily used for hierarchy-based XPath queries, and it performs really bad.

This are the numbers for my test application:
 - Total CPU time: 879 178 msec
 - CPU time in NodeId.toString(), including subcalls: 223 705 msec

A quick check against NodeId.toString() implementation shows that it is based 
on UUID.toString(), which itself is very ineffective in both in Oracle and IBM 
JDK.

I've wrote a quick replacement for this method, and my measurements show that 
overall performance became significantly better for our case.

Hope that this will help to improve JackRabbit performance for similiar 
applications.

P.S. Another interesting thing I've found is that a lot of time is spent inside 
log4j.Category.getEffectiveLevel() method - I suspect this is caused by 
numerous log.debug() calls without proper isDebugEnabled() handling.
