Github user roshannaik commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/1250#issuecomment-200609948 My gut feeling based on profiling storm recently is that there are much bigger bottlenecks elsewhere that will eclipse any potential improvement this can deliver. I would recommend verifying with a simple and quantify the performance improvement in throughput / latency this delivers. Having said that, assuming it is a safe optimization, even if it does not improve perf in the current code base, as other bottlenecks get addressed.. eventually this should help.
