Java EE 7 Performance Tuning and Optimization

Analyzing the method time versus the method invocation count

Now let's analyze the CPU profiling results according to what we have seen in the previous sections. We can pick and discuss some of the following possible combinations of high inherent time, that is, the HotSpot method:

• High self-time
• High invocation events
• High self-time and invocation events

  Note

  The self-time of a method is the time spent by the method itself. Usually, it refers to the average time calculated according to the invocations.

  The inherent time of a method includes the total time spent in all calls to this method, which is equal to the method's self-time multiplied by the number of invocations or events.

The hot spot method types

We can classify the hot spot methods into the ...
