1. If you are doing tests with the classic VM, allow it some time to warmup and compile your code. That is, run the same test first with a smaller count of iterations.Server VM precompiles code before using it, while Classic one compiles heavily used parts of code on-the-fly. 2. This line: rtFields.valueOf( myChr ) does all the job that your if/elif/else tree did. That is, I expect that all the time is spent in there, not in switch(number) that follows it. 3. You can try the following: private static void switchSub2( String myChr ) { if (myChr.length() != 1) { throw new AssertionError(); } switch ( myChr.charAt(0)) { case 'c': o += 1; break; case 'r': o += 2; break; case 'l': o += 3; break; case 'a': o += 4; break; case 't': o += 5; break; case 'd': o += 6; break; } return; }
You're right; it's dramatically faster, ~2.5x!! Thanks! D --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
