Benchmark: pgjdbc PR #4143 ("Simplify build")

Check the speed-up the PR claims (build-logic tasks 92 → 18; cold build ~31s → ~15s) and confirm that everyday development scenarios do not regress.

What is compared

baseline = 301cfb7a5 (the PR's merge-base with master, i.e. master without the PR) → /tmp/pgjdbc-bench/baseline
pr-4143 = 3cfca4f4b → /tmp/pgjdbc-bench/pr

baseline is the merge-base rather than the master tip: the only commits between them are docs/test changes that do not touch build-logic, so this isolates the PR's effect alone.

Findings

ByteArrayInputStream.transferTo(BufferedOutputStream) no longer allocates temporary arrays, and it improves performance ~2x for 1MiB inputs.

Generics in Java are hard (sad, but true), however, Kotlin makes them way more accessible 🤩.

Suppose you are doing property-based testing. Just like I suggest, I was creating a jqwik test, and I ran into an issue with generic signatures.

Here's a minimal example, and it already has two issues.

Take a second and find both of them 😉

Apache Maven enables developers to augment repository URL via settings.xml. That might sound powerful, however, it requires to use the same repository IDs across all the projects which might not be always possible.

Let's see how Gradle-based project can be published to a custom repository.

For instance, let's try to publish Apache Calcite to our own Nexus instance. Of course we don't want to commit the URL and password of our secretNexus to GitHub, so we need to augment the build without touching the files.

Gradle has Initialization Scripts that enable users to augment all the builds without touching project-specific files.

Keybase proof

I hereby claim:

I am vlsi on github.
I am vlsi (https://keybase.io/vlsi) on keybase.
I have a public key ASC2sRZGT4IKWFFWjBEznXZ8DHXjdgWnotEDW-x6_eLlYAo

To claim this, I am signing this object:

According to the measurements, replaceRange + append works faster than setText except for the case when text is fully replaced. In 100% replace case setText is on par with replaceRange + append (the results are within error bounds).

For small appends there's a win in terms of response time and memory allocation.
