Key Improvements
Performance Highlights
-
SIMD ASCII Detection: Pure ASCII strings now use vectorized scanning (SearchValues)
- Tiny_Ascii: 12.3x faster (82.81 ns → 6.756 ns)
- Large_Ascii: 137x faster (593,733 ns → 4,327 ns)
-
Zero Allocations for ASCII: Pure ASCII strings are returned as-is (same reference)
- Tiny_Ascii: 48 B → 0 B (100% reduction)
- Large_Ascii: 819,332 B → 0 B (100% reduction)
-
Reduced Allocations for Mixed Content:
- Small_Mixed: 224 B → 224 B (same, already optimal)
- Medium_Mixed: 8,264 B → 2,216 B (73% reduction)
- Large_Mixed: 823,523 B → 220,856 B (73% reduction)
-
Zero-Copy Span API: New Span-based API allows callers to provide their own buffers
- Span_Medium_Mixed: 120 B allocated (vs 8,264 B for string API)
Mixed Content Performance
- Small_Mixed: 2.2x faster (686.54 ns → 308.895 ns)
- Medium_Mixed: 1.7x faster (7,116.65 ns → 4,213.825 ns)
- Large_Mixed: 1.3x faster (1,066,297 ns → 791,424 ns)
Worst Case (Cyrillic) Performance
- Large_WorstCase: Similar performance (2,148,169 ns → 2,275,919 ns)
- Trade-off: Slightly slower for worst case, but dramatically faster for common cases
- Allocation improvement: 1,024,125 B → 409,763 B (60% reduction)
Technical Implementation
- SearchValues for ASCII Detection: Uses SIMD instructions (AVX-512 when available)
- ArrayPool for Buffers: Reduces GC pressure by reusing buffers
- FrozenDictionary for Mappings: O(1) lookup for special characters
- Unicode Normalization: Handles most accented characters automatically
- Fast-Path Optimization: Pure ASCII strings returned immediately without allocation
Memory Efficiency
The new implementation dramatically reduces memory allocations:
| Scenario | Baseline | Final | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pure ASCII (100KB) | 819 KB | 0 B | 100% reduction |
| Mixed content (100KB) | 823 KB | 220 KB | 73% reduction |
| Worst case (100KB) | 1024 KB | 409 KB | 60% reduction |
Notes
- Benchmarks run on .NET 10.0 (latest)
- All benchmarks use BenchmarkDotNet with MemoryDiagnoser
- Hardware intrinsics enabled (AVX-512 support)
- Results are median of 15 iterations
