Instead of relying on String#count for counting newlines in text nodes, Oga now
does this in C/Java. String#count isn't exactly the fastest way of counting
characters. Performance was measured using
benchmark/xml/lexer/string_average_bench.rb. Before this patch the results were
as following:
MRI: 0.529s
Rbx: 4.965s
JRuby: 0.622s
After this patch:
MRI: 0.424s
Rbx: 1.942s
JRuby: 0.665s => numbers vary a bit, seem roughly the same as before
The commands used for benchmarking:
$ rake clean # to make sure that C exts aren't shared between MRI/Rbx
$ rake generate
$ rake fixtures
$ ruby benchmark/xml/lexer/string_average_bench.rb
The big difference for Rbx is probably due to the implementation of String#count
not being super fast. Some changes were made
(https://github.com/rubinius/rubinius/pull/3133) to the method, but this hasn't
been released yet.
JRuby seems to perform in a similar way, so either it was already optimizing
things for me or I suck at writing well performing Java code.
This fixes #51.
