In operations research, optimization is the problem of determining the inputs of a function that minimize or maximize its value.
Because of that, it is preferable that optimization or performance tuning is done in the end of development stage.
Code optimization usually starts with a rethinking of the algorithm used in the program: more often than not, a particular algorithm can be specifically tailored to a particular problem, yelding better performance than a generic algorithm.

Since the Java compiler cannot be completely sure about which method will be called before runtime due to dynamic class loading, each method call involves looking up a method in a virtual table.
Any code sections recognized as "hotspots" by this VM will be optimized including inlining of method calls, where it can be done safely.

 Make Java fast: Optimize!
Optimization in Java can be an elusive target since the execution environments vary.
It is possible to write both a Java version of a method and native versions for selected platforms; this leads to increased performance on some platforms without giving up the ability to run on all platforms.
So the first task in optimizing code is to identify the 10 percent (frequently it is less than this) of the program that consumes most of the execution time.

 Why Java is Slow
People who claim that Java can be as fast as C++ or even faster often base their opinion on the idea that more disciplined languages give the compiler more room for optimization.
Java objects will be larger, due to all objects having a virtual table plus support for synchronization primitives.
So, if a high-level optimization is to be done, there has to be a way for the programmer to specify the high-level optimization rules for the compiler.

 Java Optimization: JIT
In the scope of this writing, several techniques will be presented to provide some generic background about 'optimization', and as an illustration, two tests were performed on three existing compilers for the observation of their behavior on different aspects of computation.
The second optimized loop works even better since the comparison of i with len is replaced by the comparison of i with 0, so the variable len does not need to be loaded every comparison, while the comparison with 0 is prebuilt in some instructions.
However, if the optimization techniques are so intricate as to provide the fastest executing codes, a large amount of time can be spent for compiling and loading, and it might defeat the purpose of optimization which is to reduce the execution time.

 Optimization of Java - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
the theory is that if the Java compiler tries to in-line-expand one method, it must make sure that the method will not be overrided by other methods, and adding
First, if Class X invokes a method of ClassY, the Java compiler cannot know which version of Class Y will be loaded at runtime, it cannot in-line-expand the methods regardless if they have
Second, if a Java program runs in modern Java Virtual Machine such as Sun's HotSpot, the program's performance depends more on the "Hotspot" compiler which will rearrange the byte codes at runtime, and the JVM itself knows exactly which methods will be overrided since the methods are all loaded by itself.

I am working on a task that requires optimization of the deep clone operation.
As content is written to the stream, the required size of the content is computed and (if necessary), the array is expanded to the greater of the required size or twice the current size.
Java Object Serialization produces output that is somewhat bloated (for example, fully qualifies path names are included in uncompressed string form), so the 32 byte default starting size means that lots of small arrays are created, copied into, and thrown away as data is written.
