> We have an entity which has a <map>-type of collection attached to it, th=
at uses <many-to-many> mapping. The map has cache setting of <cache usage=
=3D"nonstrict-read-write"/>=20
> The problem is that the map is often quite large, 500-1000 elements in it=
. But when Hibernate3 instantiates it from cache (PersistentMap.initializeF=
romCache()), it will create a HashMap with default parameters and then .put=
() each item from the serialized cache data to the map.=20
> HashMap default size is 16 and it resizes it to double always when it has=
 75%*capacity elements in it. So, initializing a HashMap with 1000 entries =
will cause 7 resizes (which are expensive): 16->32->64->128->256->512->1024=
->2048. This consumes a lot of memory and cpu because HashMap.resize() is a=
 costly operation.=20
> It would be better for Hibernate to initialize the map with loadfactor 1.=
0 and size of the cached serialized data array / 2 + some extra.=20
