Speedup unspeedable

    A few days ago i have got some well know e-commerce platform to speed up it. Application use hibernate, solr, spring and spring mvc with apache velocity as view and look like very over optimised, cached everything, that possible. It cached solr results, hibernate use second level cache, web tier use etag, etc. I was frustrated, because no easy way to boost performance. After several hours of investigation some bright idea came to me - if solution cache the result of named query, why not cache the result of page rendering for most very popular pages product and category views ? Of cause not all pages can be cached !
   To achive good result need to hack the VelocityLayoutView. Create a derived class put rendering result into cache. Solution became two times faster. Guess not a bad result.


   1:  public class DerivedVelocityLayoutView extends VelocityLayoutView {
   2:   
   3:  // skipped
   4:   
   5:      private oncurrentMap<String, String> cache;
   6:   
   7:  // skipped

   9:      /**

  12:      public DerivedVelocityLayoutView() {
  13:          super();
  14:          this.requestHelper = new RequestHelperImpl();
  15:          this.cache = new MapMaker()
  16:              .concurrencyLevel(16)
  17:              .softValues()
  18:              .expiration(3, TimeUnit.MINUTES)
  19:              .makeMap();
