I just ran some very quick and dirty profiling with the latest Jbossas and the results
are as follows:
Beans Startup Time Startup (WELDX) Memory Usage Mem Usage(no beans.xml)
No Deployment 17 135
20 20 22 149
500 24 26 178
2000 35 43 265
5000 87 104 440 210
So jboss uses 135Mb normally, and 210Mb when a war with 5000 classes is deployed that
does not have beans.xml. When you add weld to the mix the memory usage jumps by 230Mb to
440Mb.
According to yjp WeldClassImpl (and it's retained WeldMethod/Field etc) is
responsible for 120Mb of this.
This is where David has concentrated his work so far. The next step as we've discussed
before is to switch these over to use builders or factories to create the instances which
should allow us a much clearer view of what is going on.
Other major culprits seem to be TypeSafeObserverResolver at 24Mb (as
it is caching ProcessAnnotatedType<Bean*> * 5000) and TypeSafeDecoratorResolver at
13Mb. Not much else stands out.
Good point, we don't need to hold this at all after boot.
The beans used where quite simple (1 injection point, 7 fields, 6 methods), no normal
scoped beans, no interceptors, not decorators. Weldx does have a notable effect on startup
time, which I will also investigate.
I don't think it will be to hard to significantly reduce this. Reducing the number of
HashMap's in WeldClassImpl (and replacing some with ImmutableArraySet) should give a
significant gain, and clearing the TypeSafeObserverResolver and TypeSafeDecoratorResolver
after startup should also save around 40Mb. I'll try and do some work this week and
see how much I can get this down.
Also, I know we hold too much around after bootstrap -- afaict we hold onto BeanDeployer
instances when these should be got rid of. This directly has minimal impact, but it may
allow for better GC later on as references to some WeldClass instances may at this point
be removed. Worth checking.
