Profiling showed that a relatively high percentage of CPU time and memory allocations are coming from decorator parsing. This makes sense, since this parsing is applied to every unified log line which goes through gctoolkit. To speed things up, we: - Fold the tags regex into the broader decorator regex, avoiding the need for a second matcher, and removing the need for an expensive negative lookbehind in the tag pattern - Add a start of line anchor to the decorator regex - Defer sanitization of tags until getTags() is called for the first time To reduce unnecessary memory allocations, match groups are retrieved once and stored in an array. In testing, these optimizations cut the running time of gctoolkit roughly in half.

this is indeed faster, about twice faster for my use case too. |
