Okay, I have some new code in place that hopefully should work better. I
couldn't produce a full patch using cvs diff -c this time since I have
created new files and anonymous cvs usage doesn't allow you to
adds. I'm supplying the modified src/interfaces/jdbc as a tarball at :
http://www.candleweb.no/~gunnar/projects/pgsql/postgres-jdbc-2000-10-05.tgz

The new files that should be added are :

? org/postgresql/PGStatement.java
? org/postgresql/ObjectPool.java
? org/postgresql/ObjectPoolFactory.java

There is now a global static pool of free byte arrays and used byte arrays
connected to a statement object. This is the role of the new PGStatement
class. Access to the global free array is synchronized, while we rely on
the PG_Stream synchronization for the used array.

My measurements show that the perfomance boost on this code is not quite as
big as my last shot, but it is still an improvement. Maybe some of the
difference is due to the new synchronization on the global array. I think I
will look into choosing between on a connection level and global level.

I have also started experimented with improving the performance of the
various conversions. The problem here is ofcourse related handle the
various encodings. One thing I found to speed up ResultSet.getInt() a lot
was to do custom conversion on the byte array into int instead of going
through the getString() to do the conversion. But I'm unsure if this is
portable, can we assume that a digit never can be represented by more than
one byte ? It works fine in my iso-latin-8859-1 environment, but what about
other environments ? Maybe we could provide different ResultSet
implementations depending on the encoding used or delegate some methods of
the result set to an "converter class".

Check the org/postgresql/jdbc2/FastResultSet.java in the tarball above to
see the modified getInt() method.

The current code uses semaphores, which has the advantage that it works
well even on multi-processor machines, but the disadvantage that it is not
the fastest way possible. Writing a spinlock on Alpha for SMP machines is
very difficult, as you need to deal with memory barriers. A real mess. But
then one of the people at Compaq pointed out to us that there is a
ready-made routine on Alpha. We implemented it with the two patches below.
I ran tests with lots of parallel back-ends and got around a 10% speed
increase. I include the two patches. Perhaps some of the other people
running Tru64 can have a look at these as well.
