From 0742aef6e52a935f9ccd69594831b56d807feef3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Leonhard Holz Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2014 15:47:23 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] strcoll: improve performance by removing the cache (#15884) this is a path that should solve bug 15884. It complains about the performance of strcoll(). It was found out that the runtime of strcoll() is actually bound to strlen which is needed for calculating the size of a cache that was installed to improve the comparison performance. The idea for this patch was that the cache is only useful in rare cases (strings of same length and same first-level-chars) and that it would be better to avoid memory allocation at all. To prove this I wrote a performance test bench-strcoll.c with test data in benchtests-strcoll.tar.gz. Also modifications in benchtests/Makefile and localedata/Makefile are necessary to make it work. After removing the cache the strcoll method showed the predicted behavior (getting slightly faster) in all but the test case for hindi word sorting. This was due the hindi text having much more equal words than the other ones. For equal strings the performance was worse since all comparison levels were run through and from the second level on the cache improved the comparison performance of the original version. Therefore I added a bytewise test via strcmp iff the first level comparison found that both strings did match because in this case it is very likely that equal strings are compared. This solved the problem with the hindi test case and improved the performance of the others.
