method caching and memoization

[Abdul Habra <ahabra@xxxxxxxxx>]

Memoization is an optimization technique used primarily to speed up computer programs by storing the results of function calls for later reuse, rather than recomputing them at each invocation of the function. (According to wikipedia)

 

I have implemented a memoization library and released it with LGPL.
http://www.tek271.com/free/memoizer/tek271.memoizer.intro.html

 

This implementation uses annotations, is based on cglib, and supports pluggable cache implementations. For example to memoize a method:

 

@Remember
public String slowMethod(String param1) {
    System.out.println("inside slowMethod(" + param1 + ")");
    return param1 + param1;
}

 

Do you guys/gals think it is helpful? Is it worth pursuing? Any suggestions?

Thank You,
Abdul Habra
