Can Wurst be upgraded to jdk17? #1078

Closed fbicirno closed 9 months ago

fbicirno commented 9 months ago

Can Wurst be upgraded to jdk17? The performance of jdk8 seems to have reached the upper limit.

For shorter compilation time and faster performance!

Do you have any evidence to back up those claims? You can run wurst with a newer JRE, which should be most of the potential performance improvements. I don't see how compiling wurst with a newer JDK without any code changes would affect performance much if it all.

Sorry, I'm just guessing

You can upgrade your system JDK which is used for Wurst to the latest version (21) and increase the heap size in settings.json to gain some performance. Regarding general performance issues, you should add -measure to your wurst_run.args file and paste the results from the output tab. Do you have -compiletimeCache enabled? I am in the process of making some small performance improvements with the latest commit and #1080, but don't expect any major gains for big projects. Wurst simply does a lot of stuff which isn't easily optimized, and therefore will require a long build time for big code bases.
