----------------------------------------
Thank you for pointing me to
[JavaUseProvider::loadObject()|https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-scripting-sightly/blob/f7f73e2feefb39a4496a85a093fe834aca92fb01/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/scripting/sightly/impl/engine/extension/use/JavaUseProvider.java#L178-L206]
! I was so laser-focused on the adapter's internal loops that I completely
missed the starting invocation
Looking at the code again, your {{tryCreateModel}} idea is a brilliant,
stateless way to optimize the 'hits' in that waterfall pattern, I also
completely agree with hesitation around caches—global caches usually just bring
nightmares with stale data and memory leaks
However, looking right at the start of that method, {{isModelClass(cls)}}
executes before the waterfall even begins, If a component _doesn't_ have a
model, {{isModelClass}} still triggers the heavy JCR traversals just to confirm
the 'miss'
Because cache is strictly bound to {{{}resolver.getPropertyMap(){}}}, it dies
instantly at the end of the HTTP request, which safely avoids those usual stale
data/memory leak risks while blocking the duplicate 'miss' traversal
What do you think about a two-way approach? We keep this request-scoped cache
to shield against the 'misses' and I will actually raise a PR for your
{{tryCreateModel}} API change shortly so we can look at the code!
Once that is up, we can look at them side-by-side and decide the best path
forward: whether we want to keep both (using the API for hits and this
request-cache for misses), or if we should put this cache PR on hold to avoid
the risk entirely

> While analyzing repository access, I found a pattern in the Scripting HTL

> and there multiple resources are resolved, based on the provided
> resourceType.
> I benchmarked this code using a simple AEM sample page (WKND) using HTL and
> Sling Models. I found this code is responsible to the creation of 712 JCR
> Node resource objects (the total page rendering triggered the creation of
> more than 10k, so these are around 7%). When deduplicating the requested
> paths, I found that only 36 distinct paths were resolved with these 712 JCR
> Node resources.
> That means that with proper caching (probably using the
> ResourceResolver.getPropertyMap) around 6.5% of repository access could be
> avoided, leading to a page rendering improvement in about the same range.
