Velocity 1.5 performance bottlenecks
------------------------------------
Key: VELOCITY-606
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VELOCITY-606
Project: Velocity
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Engine
Affects Versions: 1.5
Environment: Win XP, 1 Gb, single core, Maven 2, JUnitPerf, JRat,
cached Velocity templates with a ClassLoader
Reporter: Jarkko Viinamäki
I did some quite extensive profiling to identify performance bottlenecks in
Velocity 1.5.
Using Maven 2, JUnitPerf and JRat I was able to identify these methods as top
bottlenecks:
org.apache.velocity.util.introspection ClassMap - findMethod(String,Object[])
org.apache.velocity.util.introspection IntrospectorBase -
getMethod(Class,String,Object[])
org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.node SimpleNode - literal()
org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.node SimpleNode -
render(InternalContextAdapter,Writer)
org.apache.commons.collections ExtendedProperties - getBoolean(String,boolean)
org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.node ASTReference -
render(InternalContextAdapter,Writer)
The first two eat over 50% of the CPU with many threads. See attached
screenshots.
Interestingly enough the synchronized
org.apache.velocity.runtime RuntimeInstance getTemplate(String,String)
isn't a big problem when templates are cached. However, if all resources are
not cached it becomes a serious performance bottleneck. ResourceCacheImpl also
uses a synchronized map which slows things down.
I think these bottlenecks could be at least made less worse by reducing
synchronization by using ConcurrentHashMap and StringBuilder that ship with JDK
1.5. I'm investigating what kind of benefits could be achieved with those.
