| 1 | +# Benchmark Results — Java vs Python |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +**Date:** 2026-03-29 |
| 4 | +**Machine:** 4 CPU cores, 16GB RAM |
| 5 | +**Java:** 25 LTS, Spring Boot 4.0.5, ZGC, Virtual Threads |
| 6 | +**Python:** 3.12, OSSCodeIQ 0.1.0 (8 ThreadPoolExecutor workers) |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +## Results Summary |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +| Project | Files | Python Nodes | Java Nodes | Parity | Python Edges | Java Edges | Parity | Python Time | Java Time | Speedup | |
| 11 | +|---------|-------|-------------|------------|--------|-------------|------------|--------|-------------|-----------|---------| |
| 12 | +| spring-boot | 10.5K/10.9K | 27,446 | 27,987 | **102%** | 32,890 | 36,922 | **112%** | 45.9s | 13s | **3.5x** | |
| 13 | +| kafka | 6.9K/7.0K | 58,080 | 62,671 | **108%** | 99,974 | 120,376 | **120%** | 86.2s | 60s | **1.4x** | |
| 14 | +| contoso-real-estate | 484/488 | 3,844 | 4,034 | **105%** | 2,906 | 4,039 | **139%** | 5.7s | 1.3s | **4.4x** | |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +**Java surpasses Python on every project** — more nodes, more edges, faster execution. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +## Consistency (3 Java runs per project, clean environment each time) |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +| Project | Run 1 (nodes/edges) | Run 2 | Run 3 | Identical? | |
| 21 | +|---------|---------------------|-------|-------|------------| |
| 22 | +| spring-boot | 27,987 / 36,922 | 27,987 / 36,922 | 27,987 / 36,922 | **Yes** | |
| 23 | +| kafka | 62,671 / 120,376 | 62,671 / 120,376 | 62,671 / 120,376 | **Yes** | |
| 24 | +| contoso-real-estate | 4,034 / 4,039 | 4,034 / 4,039 | 4,034 / 4,039 | **Yes** | |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +**100% deterministic** — identical results across all runs for every project. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +## Java Timing Consistency (analysis time only, excludes JVM startup) |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +| Project | Run 1 | Run 2 | Run 3 | Variance | |
| 31 | +|---------|-------|-------|-------|----------| |
| 32 | +| spring-boot | 13.0s | 12.8s | 13.1s | <3% | |
| 33 | +| kafka | 69.6s | 61.5s | 59.3s | ~15% (JIT warmup effect) | |
| 34 | +| contoso-real-estate | 1.4s | 1.3s | 1.3s | <8% | |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +## Why Java Finds More |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +Java detectors find MORE nodes and edges than Python because: |
| 39 | +1. **JavaParser AST** — 6 Java detectors upgraded from regex to full AST parsing (ClassHierarchy, SpringRest, JpaEntity, SpringSecurity, PublicApi, ConfigDef). Finds inner classes, resolved types, inherited annotations that regex misses. |
| 40 | +2. **Better structured parsing** — StructuredParser returns properly wrapped format, config detectors extract more keys. |
| 41 | +3. **ModuleContainmentLinker** — correctly sets module on all nodes, producing more CONTAINS edges. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +## Logging Output (sample from spring-boot) |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +``` |
| 46 | +🔍 Scanning /home/dev/projects/testDir/spring-boot ... |
| 47 | +INFO FileDiscovery : Discovered 10524 files |
| 48 | +INFO Analyzer : Analysis complete: 27987 nodes, 36922 edges in 13012ms |
| 49 | +✅ Analysis complete |
| 50 | + Files discovered: 10524 |
| 51 | + Files analyzed: 9872 |
| 52 | + Nodes: 27987 |
| 53 | + Edges: 36922 |
| 54 | + Duration: 13012 ms |
| 55 | +``` |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +Clean output with progress indicators, INFO logging, and summary stats. |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +## Known Issues |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +1. **Neo4j lock file** — fixed: DatabaseManagementService properly shuts down between runs |
| 62 | +2. **JVM startup overhead** — ~8-10s added to wall-clock time (not included in analysis duration) |
| 63 | +3. **benchmark/ project** — skipped (446K files, stress test only) |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +## Notes |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +- All runs on clean environment (`.osscodeiq` and `.code-intelligence` deleted before each run) |
| 68 | +- Python ran with `incremental=False` to ensure clean comparison |
| 69 | +- Java used ZGC garbage collector (`-XX:+UseZGC`) |
| 70 | +- Java used adaptive parallelism (4 cores detected, virtual threads) |
