----------------------------
[edit] ugh I'm blind, those methods are static now, it's all good. thanks for
the patch!
> Metadata constructor is slow

> Key: TIKA-495
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-495
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: metadata
> Affects Versions: 0.8
> Reporter: Radek
> Attachments: TIKA-495.patch

>
> Metadata constructor initialises a bunch of SimpleTimeFormat objects. This is
> slow - they need to parse their configuration strings, system must be queried
> for timezone, and so on. In my simple test in which I create new Metadata
> object for each new document this accounts for approximately 25-30% of all
> time spent in Tika.
> As pointed out by Nick Burch, SimpleTimeFormat is not threadsafe, so they
> can't be static.
> Possible solutions include using org.apache.commons.lang.time.FastDateFormat
> instead (if its features are sufficient), or using thread local objects.
