- _Release info: 1.8.12 available 20-Oct-2017_
-
- This is a small release that includes a backport of some 1.9.0 work that improves the performance of Spring AOP (or any
- system consuming AspectJ in a similar way to Spring).
-
- Dave Syer recently created a series of benchmarks for checking the speed of Spring-AspectJ:

-
- Here we can see the numbers for AspectJ 1.8.11 (on an older Macbook Pro):

- So this is the average **startup time** of an app affected by aspects applying to the beans involved. Where numbers are
- referenced the first is the number of aspects/pointcuts and the second is the number of beans. The 'a' indicates an
- annotation based pointcut vs a non-annotation based pointcut ('v'). Notice things are much worse for annotation based
- pointcuts. At 20 pointcuts and 50 beans the app is 9 seconds slower to startup.
-
- In AspectJ 1.8.12 and 1.9.0.RC1 some work has been done here. The key change is to recognize that the use of annotations
- with runtime retention is much more likely than annotations with class level retention. Retrieving annotations with
- class retention is costly because we must open the bytes for the class file and dig around in there (vs runtime
- retention which are immediately accessible by reflection on the types). In 1.8.11 the actual type of the annotation
- involved in the matching is ignored and the code will fetch *all* the annotations on the type/method/field being matched
- against. So even if the match is looking for a runtime retention annotation, we were doing the costly thing of fetching
- any class retention annotations. In 1.8.12/1.9.0.RC1 we take the type of the match annotation into account - allowing us
- to skip opening the classfiles in many cases. There is also some deeper work on activating caches that were not
- previously being used correctly but the primary change is factoring in the annotation type.

- What difference does that make? AspectJ 1.8.12:

- Look at the a20_100 case - instead of impacting start time by 9 seconds, it impacts it by 1 second.
