Description
This page details the performance improvement efforts for Visual Web 6.0. Since Visual Web will be integrated with NetBeans, the primary focus with regards to performance is the impact of VWP on the IDE as a whole.
Goals
- Fix memory leaks
- Reduce impact of VW on the IDE's performance
- Reduce memory footprint of VW features
- Fix regressions from previous versions.
Performance
Available test data:
- project creation
- page creation
- drop table onto page
- drop button onto page
- bind database to table
Memory Footprint
TBD (Issues related to Visual Web's memory footprint)
Memory Leaks
Memory leaks were discovered using JProfiler on both VWP 5.5.1 and 6.0.
- DesignBean objects leak in insync.markup.MarkupUnit due to designer markup elements not being collected
- DesignBeanNode/DesignerTopComp leak in OutlineTopComponent
- Document leak in designer.cssengine.CSSEngineServiceImpl due to circular reference in WeakHashMap
- DesignerTopComp leak due to SelectionTopComp$CBListener not being unregistered
- designer.jsf.BeanModifyListener never unreferences FacesDesignBean
- designer.markup.*ElementImpl objects (related to MarkupUnit issue) possibly circularly referenced from FacesBean and MarkupProperty
See Quy for profiler output for each issue.

Other ideas (probably not practical)
- Mock container initialization
- Removing backing bean? (probably not much payoff)
