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 original method: 2850.2 i/s - 536.46x slower ``` ```ruby 5_000.times do |i| MyCompany::MyApp::Business::Accounts::Standard.create!(name: "standard_#{i}") end 5_000.times do |i| MyCompany::MyApp::Business::Accounts::Free.create!(name: "free_#{i}") end puts '====================== .limit(100).to_a =======================' Benchmark.ips do |x| x.report("without .compute_type patch") do MyCompany::MyApp::Business::Accounts::Free.limit(100).to_a 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 without .compute_type patch: 24.7 i/s - 14.59x slower ```
