Description Kim Horne CLA 2005-04-21 09:39:17 EDT 
The various activity compoinents (ActivityDefinition,
ActivityPatternBindingDefinition, ActivityRequirementBindingDefinition,
CategoryActivityBindingDefinition, CategoryDefinition) that are used when
processing the registry are very string-heavy.  Additionally, by virtue of it's
design, many of the strings are duplicated.  Ie: activity ID in the
ActivityDefinition and the zillion pattern bindings/requirement/category
bindings.  We should investigate the use of String.intern() in this case.

This would negatively impact startup speed but would improve memory usage.  Any
opinions Tod?
Comment 2 Tod Creasey CLA 2005-04-21 09:48:28 EDT 
We would need to see how much the effect is on both. If a small loss in one
causes a big gain in the other it would be worth it.

No plans to fix.
