The performance numbers under MacBookPro M1 Max are as follows: -Benchmark Mode Cnt Score Error Units (master) -BigDecimals.testConstructorWithString avgt 15 66.005 ? 0.733 ns/op +Benchmark Mode Cnt Score Error Units (current version #aaf04f6) +BigDecimals.testConstructorWithString avgt 15 39.720 ? 0.266 ns/op +66.17% Compared to directly using a char[], using CharBuffer.wrap leads to a 27% decrease in performance. The performance numbers under MacBookPro M1 Max are as follows: Benchmark Mode Cnt Score Error Units (char[] direct) BigDecimals.testConstructorWithCharArray avgt 15 41.998 ? 0.259 ns/op Benchmark Mode Cnt Score Error Units (CharBuffer.wrap) BigDecimals.testConstructorWithCharArray avgt 15 53.533 ? 1.297 ns/op -27.46% Now, new BigDecimal(char[]) and new BigDecimal(String) are using the same algorithm. They are two separate paths, and both have seen performance improvements. The performance numbers under MacBookPro M1 Max are as follows: -Benchmark Mode Cnt Score Error Units (master) -BigDecimals.testConstructorWithCharArray avgt 15 48.448 ? 1.879 ns/op -BigDecimals.testConstructorWithString avgt 15 65.203 ? 3.871 ns/op +Benchmark Mode Cnt Score Error Units (current #) +BigDecimals.testConstructorWithCharArray avgt 15 41.166 ? 0.940 ns/op +17.68% +BigDecimals.testConstructorWithString avgt 15 39.289 ? 0.159 ns/op +65.95% ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/18177#issuecomment-1987283721 PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/18177#issuecomment-1987601447 PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/18177#issuecomment-1988185886
