Performance crime: concurrent collections misuse
The case study on how the harmless collection could silently cause system to work slower and remain undetected for ages.
Performance crime: config to kill performance
Would you as a developer allow a setting that can make system 15 550 times slower? I’ve received a few memory dumps with high CPU; each scavenges AccessResultCache: How big is the cache so that every snapshot contains the operation? Detecting cache size from the snapshot A ClrMD code snippet locates objects in Sitecore.Caching.Generics.Cache namespaceContinue reading “Performance crime: config to kill performance”
Performance crime: no respect for mainstream flow
How expensive a lack of respect to mainstream usage could be?
Performance crime: careless allocations
I was investigating Sitecore Aggregation case a time back and my attention was caught by GC Heap Allocation mentioning RequiresValidator in top 10: Combining all generic entries together leads to over 7% of total allocations making it second most expensive type application wide! Yes, all it does is check object is not null Yes, itContinue reading “Performance crime: careless allocations”
