[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-3983?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] Adrian Nistor commented on ISPN-3983: ------------------------------------- Many perf issue are due to extensive use of HashMap-like data structures in the implementation. Improvements were done by replacing those with some simpler data structures where it was possible. There is still one such data structure that cannot be removed. It is used for buffering all fields that are 'seen' in the data stream until they are actually read by the user code (implemetations of MessageMarshaller). The problem is simillar to DOM vs SAX when it comes to xml parsing. The current implementation uses internal data structures to represent and buffer the incomming stream of fields, much like DOM. A better alternative would be to immediatelly inject the incoming fields directly into the user entity (think SAX). The new annotation based marshallers do exactly that and no longer have this perf problem. I think performance is decent now for MessageMarshaller implementations and maximal for the annotation based barshallers, so we can close this. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.11#6341)
