Hi, I once suspect that hibernate take too much time in doing dirty check during session flush. However Gavin king and other hibernate-user disagreed with me. I did a simple performance testing to verify the dirty check performance.
My conslusion is that the performance is not so good if there are many objects in session. If a session has around 1000 objects in memory, only will the dirty check take about 200 million second. For detailed performance metrics, see the table below. The structure of my testing object is very simple. One thing I am not sure is whether the dirty checking algorithm is related to object structure or not. If it is, the dirty check in reality will take more time. My testing case is attached. ---------------test logic ---------------- 1. load some (n) number of objects in memory. 2. begin tranaction. 3. // do not do anything here. 4. commit. Then calculate the time consumed from step 2 and 4. ---------------- test code ----------------- List ps=new ArrayList(10010); for (int i=1000; i<2100; i++) { Parent p1=(Parent)session.load(Parent.class, new Long(i)); p1.getValues().size(); } long startTime=System.currentTimeMillis(); Transaction tx=session.beginTransaction(); tx.commit(); long endTime=System.currentTimeMillis(); System.out.println("total time(in ms):"+(endTime-startTime)); -------------The performance metics--------- objects in memory time (in ms) for dirty check (3 experiments) 10000 741, 751,821 2000 200, 230, 230 1000 201, 191, 190, 100 30, 30, 30 1 10, 10, 10 jason __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
