Gunnar,
Sorry about getting the wrong name. Yes, I was referring to the modifications you posted. I ran a few more tests, which I think will clarify things:
Test #1 Test #2 Test #2 w/ GC
---------- --------- -----------
jdbc7.0-1.2.jar 1.89 ms 5.0 ms 3.9 ms
postgresql.jar (191450 bytes) 1.36 ms 3.1 ms 3.2 ms
postgresql.jar (204223 bytes) 1.78 ms 3.9 ms 4.1 ms
In Test #2 w/ GC, I purposefully ran System.gc() every 150 msec during the test. This reduces my dependence on how often I create and free objects. It also made the original driver faster than the new one.
The times depend significantly on what I do in my program -- if I cache results, I can see execution times slow down significantly (sometimes slower by a factor of 20!). (The numbers above are with the cache turned OFF.) That's why I'm running the GC frequently; with it, I get consistently good times.
The two versions of postgresql.jar are both less sensitive to memory allocation in my part of the program. That is, the times do no grow when I use a cache with these drivers.
I conclude the following:
-----------------------------
(1) the older postgresql.jar is faster than the newer one (the 191450 byte version is older). I don't know what's the difference; I didn't every realize I had two different versions until this morning.
(2) both are faster than jdbc7.0-1.2.jar in most circumstances
(3) use of System.gc() can significantly alter execution times, making benchmarking very difficult.
Hope this helps. I've attached the source for "Test #1". Test #2 is more
complicated, and probably not worth your effort -- it depends so heavily on how System.gc() is called.
- Keith
P.S. My system is RH Linux 6.2, PostgreSQL 6.5.3 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, JVM is JDK1.2.2_006 with green threads.
