[jboss-user] [JBossCache] - JBC 2 performance

I wrote some code that used JBC 1.4.1.SP3, then later I converted it to use JBC 2.0.0.CR2, and I noticed that at least a part of it is running MUCH slower. Like, an order of magnitude slower. That part of the code is putting a lot of data in the cache. I ran it with a profiler and a debugger, and found that most time is spent in the SimpleEntry constructor (which is getting called over 16 million times in my snapshot). A frequent call sequence is: CacheLoaderInterceptor.createNodes -> findChild -> UnversionedNode.getChildrenMapDirect -> MapCopy -> SimpleEntry. There are a few nodes that have MANY children, and JBC seems to call getChildrenMapDirect() on them repeatedly, and it creates a new MapCopy every time, with a new SimpleEntry for every child. I looked at the JBC 1.4.1 code, and there CacheLoaderInterceptor.createNodes calls AbstractNode.getChild which calls "get" directly from the children map, without creating thousands of extra objects. I don't know the reason why UnversionedNode.getChildrenMapDirect now has to make a new MapCopy every time, but I can tell you it seriously affects performance.
