Optimizing Groovy Performance - performance

Question

I'm working on groovy code perfomance optimization. I've used jvisualvm to connect to running applicaton and gather CPU samples. Samples say that org.codehaus.groovy.reflection.CachedMethod.inkove takes the most CPU time. I don't see any other application methods in samples.
What is the right way to dig into CachedMethod.invoke and understand what code lines really give perfomance penalties?
Thanks.
UPD:
I do use Indy, it didn't help me.
I didn't try to introduce #CompileStatic since I want to find my bottlenecks before rewriting groovy to java.
My problem a bit similar to this thread: Call site caching faster than invokedynamic?
I have a code that dynamically composes groovy script. Script template looks this way:
def evaluateExpression(Map context){
def user = context.user
%s
}
where %s replaced with
user.attr1 == '1' || user.attr2 == '2' || user.attr3 = '3'
There is a set (20 in total) of replacements have taken from Databases.
The code gets replacements from DB, creates GroovyScript and evaluates it.
I suppose the bottleneck is in the script execution. What is the right way to fix it?

Answer 1

So, I've tried various things
groovy-indy, doesn't work
groovy-indy with some code "optimization", doesn't work. BTW, I'started to play around with try/catch and it as a result I made my "hotspot" run 4 times faster. I'm not good at JVM internals, but internet says - try/catch prevents optimizations. I assumed it as a ground truth. Need to g deeper to understand who it really works.
I gave up, turned off invokedynamic and rewrote my "hottest" code with #CompileStatic. It took about 3-4 hours and I my code runs 100 time faster now.
Here are initial metrics with "invokedynamic support"
count = 83043
mean rate = 395.52 calls/second
1-minute rate = 555.30 calls/second
5-minute rate = 217.78 calls/second
15-minute rate = 82.92 calls/second
min = 0.29 milliseconds
max = 12.98 milliseconds
mean = 1.59 milliseconds
stddev = 1.08 milliseconds
median = 1.39 milliseconds
75% <= 2.46 milliseconds
95% <= 3.14 milliseconds
98% <= 3.44 milliseconds
99% <= 3.76 milliseconds
99.9% <= 12.19 milliseconds
Here are #CompileStatic metrics with ind turned off. BTW, there is no reason to use #CompileStatic if "indy" is turned on.
count = 139724
mean rate = 8950.43 calls/second
1-minute rate = 2011.54 calls/second
5-minute rate = 426.96 calls/second
15-minute rate = 143.76 calls/second
min = 0.02 milliseconds
max = 24.18 milliseconds
mean = 0.08 milliseconds
stddev = 0.72 milliseconds
median = 0.06 milliseconds
75% <= 0.08 milliseconds
95% <= 0.11 milliseconds
98% <= 0.15 milliseconds
99% <= 0.20 milliseconds
99.9% <= 1.27 milliseconds
