Richard Eckart de Castilho commented on UIMA-6200:
--------------------------------------------------

Here some numbers:

{code}
[13266] FixedFlowController parsed from XML in [10000]ms
[2964212] FixedFlowController parsed once, cached and cloned in [10000]ms
[35156776] FixedFlowController generated in memory in [10000]ms
{code}

The third option constructs a fresh object in memory on every invocation, 
completely foregoing the XML file and also the cloning.

> Constructing aggregate engines is slow

> Creating an aggregate engine is slow because every time a default fixed flow 
> descriptor is loaded from the classpath as XML and parsed.

> IMHO, this should be loaded once and then cached permanently - or be 
> constructed completely programmatically (also once!) and never loaded at all.
