ST var declaration results have changed drastically from our original 8.0 benchmark – Bookshelf is n

Hi All,

 

We just revisited out ST var benchmark that compared the performance of the three alternatives for declaring your vars with the ST eScript engine:

·        Use object types (e.g. String).

·        Use primitive types (e.g. chars)

·        Use no type.

 

The results are surprising and completely different from the results when we first did this test back on Siebel 8.0.  On that test the object types were the slowest and the primitive and non typed were much faster and tied for first place.

 

Today with 8.1.1.5 the results have completely changed.  Now the object types are much faster than either of the other two.
