Cache results of computing model type
We faced a significant performance decrease when we started using STI
without storing full namespaced class name in type column (because of PostgreSQL
length limit for ENUM types).
We realized that the cause of it is the slow STI model instantiation. Problematic
method appears to be `ActiveRecord::Base.compute_type`, which is used to find
the right class for STI model on every instantiation.
It builds an array of candidate types and then iterates through it calling
`safe_constantize` on every type until it finds appropriate constant. So if
desired type isn't the first element in this array there will be at least one
unsuccessful call to `safe_constantize`, which is very expensive, since it's
defined in terms of `begin; rescue; end`.
This commit is an attempt to speed up `compute_type` method simply by caching
results of previous calls.
```ruby
class MyCompany::MyApp::Business::Accounts::Base < ApplicationRecord
self.table_name = 'accounts'
self.store_full_sti_class = false
end
class MyCompany::MyApp::Business::Accounts::Free < Base
end
class MyCompany::MyApp::Business::Accounts::Standard < Base
# patch .compute_type there
end
puts '======================= .compute_type ======================='
Benchmark.ips do |x|
x.report("original method") do
MyCompany::MyApp::Business::Accounts::Free.send :compute_type, 'Free'
end
x.report("with types cached") do
MyCompany::MyApp::Business::Accounts::Standard.send :compute_type, 'Standard'
end
x.compare!
end
```
```
======================= .compute_type =======================
with types cached: 1529019.4 i/s

```
```ruby
5_000.times do |i|
MyCompany::MyApp::Business::Accounts::Standard.create!(name: "standard_#{i}")
end
5_000.times do |i|

end
x.report("with .compute_type patch") do
MyCompany::MyApp::Business::Accounts::Standard.limit(100).to_a
end
x.compare!
end
```
```
====================== .limit(100).to_a =======================
with .compute_type patch: 360.5 i/s
