Thanks to everybody. I did what you say and now
MessageTally time: [ECContextTest new testUntypedVarsOnly] -> 3023
I've just commited OCompletion.
And I didn't know TimeProfiler :)
If you download
http://www.squeaksource.com/OCompletion/Ocompletion-ul.67.mcz you'll get
better results:
[ ECContextTest new testUntypedVarsOnly ] timeToRun "===> 815"

IF you take a 1.1 core and just load OCompletion:
MessageTally time: [ECContextTest new testUntypedVarsOnly] 20907
If you load OCompletion and the rest of the dev image:
MessageTally time: [ECContextTest new testUntypedVarsOnly] 100137
However, IN pharo dev 1.0 it is
MessageTally time: [ECContextTest new testUntypedVarsOnly] 7405
sooo.... ????
something has changed?
As I said, SortedCollection is not suitable for this kind of usage.
But in Pharo 1.0 OCompletion was doing the same....so? did
SortedCollection
chang between 1.0 and 1.1?
No, something else changed. The same test is still 5x faster in 1.0
dev with the new code.
TimeProfiler to the rescue:
Preferences class >> ecompletionCaseSensitive
1.0: (1725ms)
1.1 (19724ms)
Preference>>settingValue which is there for backwards-compatability in
1.1 does both symbol creation and respondsTo:, so yeah, it's much slower
than the old dictionary lookup.
Nice find. If you check my code, you'll find that I optimized that
away. :)
Levente
Yes ,you moved it out of the actual sort loop :)
Rewrite the methods in ECPreferences to use the new syntax:
<preference: category: description: type:>, and you shouldn't even have
to do that to get ok performance.
IMHO, it's rather disturbing to see things like EC, where its
preferences are actually separated tucked away in an ECPreferences class,
only to be delegated from there over to Preferences...
The preferences should be updated, but sending a message once is still
better than 2k-30k times.
Levente
Sure, on the order of a couple of milliseconds difference.
I keep forgetting the fact we generally have different definitions of what
constitutes "ok performance" ;)
30k was a bit optimistic assumption. For example the Pharo 1.1 OneClick
image has 3220 globals. The sortBlock asks for the preference twice per
evaluation. SortedCollection uses a binary search during #add:. If we are
optimistic, then the preference is asked 3220 * (3220 ln / 2 ln) * 2 times
which is ~75k.
In the same image the "old" code asked for the preference 2282899 times
during the tests, while the new code did it only 398 times. If the
preference is changed to return the value of a variable, then the difference
is only 80 ms, otherwise it's 36.6 seconds.
