Prime Cache Bytecode Adjustments #44

Closed DK96-OS closed 2 years ago

DK96-OS commented 2 years ago

Exploring the decompiled Numbers artifact shows some potential for nanoscale improvement.

Type casting an int to a long is done repeatedly inside some for loops in PrimeCacheBase
Some decompiled boolean expressions can be simplified
The ArrayList of UByte requires boxing and unboxing when an item is added, or when an item is read or removed.
Creating a new UByte number uses a constructor. A newly discovered prime is cast from int to byte to UByte.

Converting to Java would improve control over bytecode. However, the implementation is somewhat complicated, and it would be better (long term) to redesign and simplify rather than convert line by line.

The new design has been created #61 , and it is much simpler than before. Performance hasn't been measured, but it is possible to do the measurements at some later date.
