Thread a has no happens before relationship with thread b unless they share the lock. I trained myself to just synchronize or use volatile long ago (and then let the knowledge begin seeping I guess), but even still, every time I see one of these double lock check type tricks I go, eh, this one must work or something. > String.intern() faster alternative > ---------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-1607 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1607 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Earwin Burrfoot > Fix For: 2.9 > > Attachments: intern.patch, LUCENE-1607.patch > > > By using our own interned string pool on top of default, String.intern() can > be greatly optimized. > On my setup (java 6) this alternative runs ~15.8x faster for already interned > strings, and ~2.2x faster for 'new String(interned)' > For java 5 and 4 speedup is lower, but still considerable. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
