From cd4544f562f20b4dd544988a39d2f8b8f5a9d5b7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ken Smith Date: Sat, 21 Mar 2026 14:56:42 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Cache XSSFRow.FirstCellNum/LastCellNum to avoid O(n) LINQ scans GetFirstKey() and GetLastKey() used LINQ Min()/Max() which enumerate all dictionary keys on every call. FirstCellNum and LastCellNum are called in tight loops (e.g., cell range iteration during copy/shift operations), making this O(n) per access a significant bottleneck. Cache the min/max column indices and update them O(1) on add, with lazy invalidation on remove (only re-scans when a boundary cell is removed). Also adds safety-net tests for sparse rows, large column indices, interleaved add/remove, and ordering persistence. Benchmark results (10,000 repeated FirstCellNum+LastCellNum accesses): - Sparse row (3 cells): 799 us -> 11 us (71x faster), 2813 KB -> 0 B - Dense row (200 cells): 25,724 us -> 11 us (2,276x faster), 4375 KB -> 0 B Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) --- .../XSSFRowCellNumBenchmark.cs | 76 +++++++ ooxml/XSSF/UserModel/XSSFRow.cs | 75 ++++++- testcases/ooxml/XSSF/UserModel/TestXSSFRow.cs | 192 ++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 340 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) create mode 100644 benchmarks/NPOI.Benchmarks/XSSFRowCellNumBenchmark.cs diff --git a/benchmarks/NPOI.Benchmarks/XSSFRowCellNumBenchmark.cs b/benchmarks/NPOI.Benchmarks/XSSFRowCellNumBenchmark.cs new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..068b0021cf --- /dev/null +++ b/benchmarks/NPOI.Benchmarks/XSSFRowCellNumBenchmark.cs @@ -0,0 +1,76 @@ +using BenchmarkDotNet.Attributes; +using NPOI.SS.UserModel; +using NPOI.XSSF.UserModel; + +namespace NPOI.Benchmarks; + +[ShortRunJob] +[MemoryDiagnoser] +public class XSSFRowCellNumBenchmark +{ + private XSSFWorkbook _workbook; + private IRow _sparseRow; + private IRow _denseRow; + + [GlobalSetup] + public void Setup() + { + _workbook = new XSSFWorkbook(); + var sheet = _workbook.CreateSheet("test"); + + // Sparse row: cells at widely separated columns + _sparseRow = sheet.CreateRow(0); + _sparseRow.CreateCell(0).SetCellValue("first"); + _sparseRow.CreateCell(500).SetCellValue("mid"); + _sparseRow.CreateCell(1000).SetCellValue("last"); + + // Dense row: 200 contiguous cells (typical spreadsheet) + _denseRow = sheet.CreateRow(1); + for (int i = 0; i < 200; i++) + { + _denseRow.CreateCell(i).SetCellValue(i); + } + } + + [Benchmark] + public int SparseRow_FirstLastCellNum_10000x() + { + // Simulates tight loop pattern: for (j = row.FirstCellNum; j <= row.LastCellNum; j++) + int sum = 0; + for (int i = 0; i < 10_000; i++) + { + sum += _sparseRow.FirstCellNum + _sparseRow.LastCellNum; + } + return sum; + } + + [Benchmark] + public int DenseRow_FirstLastCellNum_10000x() + { + int sum = 0; + for (int i = 0; i < 10_000; i++) + { + sum += _denseRow.FirstCellNum + _denseRow.LastCellNum; + } + return sum; + } + + [Benchmark] + public int DenseRow_IterateCellRange() + { + // Pattern seen in copy/shift operations: iterate FirstCellNum..LastCellNum + int count = 0; + for (int j = _denseRow.FirstCellNum; j < _denseRow.LastCellNum; j++) + { + ICell cell = _denseRow.GetCell(j); + if (cell != null) count++; + } + return count; + } + + [GlobalCleanup] + public void Cleanup() + { + _workbook?.Dispose(); + } +} diff --git a/ooxml/XSSF/UserModel/XSSFRow.cs b/ooxml/XSSF/UserModel/XSSFRow.cs index 8505cf79a7..1d6806c94d 100644 --- a/ooxml/XSSF/UserModel/XSSFRow.cs +++ b/ooxml/XSSF/UserModel/XSSFRow.cs @@ -56,6 +56,18 @@ public class XSSFRow : IRow, IComparable private readonly XSSFSheet _sheet; private readonly StylesTable _stylesSource; + + /// + /// Cached first (minimum) column index, or -1 if unknown/dirty. + /// Avoids O(n) LINQ Min() scan on every FirstCellNum access. + /// + private int _cachedFirstCellNum = -1; + + /// + /// Cached last (maximum) column index, or -1 if unknown/dirty. + /// Avoids O(n) LINQ Max() scan on every LastCellNum access. + /// + private int _cachedLastCellNum = -1; #endregion #region Public properties @@ -79,7 +91,12 @@ public short FirstCellNum { get { - return (short)(_cells.Count == 0 ? -1 : GetFirstKey()); + if (_cells.Count == 0) return -1; + if (_cachedFirstCellNum < 0) + { + _cachedFirstCellNum = GetFirstKey(); + } + return (short)_cachedFirstCellNum; } } @@ -94,7 +111,12 @@ public short LastCellNum { get { - return (short)(_cells.Count == 0 ? -1 : (GetLastKey() + 1)); + if (_cells.Count == 0) return -1; + if (_cachedLastCellNum < 0) + { + _cachedLastCellNum = GetLastKey(); + } + return (short)(_cachedLastCellNum + 1); } } @@ -284,6 +306,7 @@ public XSSFRow(CT_Row row, XSSFSheet sheet) { XSSFCell cell = new XSSFCell(this, c); _cells.Add(cell.ColumnIndex, cell); + UpdateCacheOnAdd(cell.ColumnIndex); sheet.OnReadCell(cell); } } @@ -355,6 +378,7 @@ public ICell CreateCell(int columnIndex, CellType type) } _cells[columnIndex] = xcell; + UpdateCacheOnAdd(columnIndex); return xcell; } @@ -421,7 +445,9 @@ public void RemoveCell(ICell cell) ((XSSFWorkbook)_sheet.Workbook).OnDeleteFormula(xcell); } - _cells.Remove(cell.ColumnIndex); + int removedIndex = cell.ColumnIndex; + _cells.Remove(removedIndex); + InvalidateCacheOnRemove(removedIndex); } /// @@ -625,6 +651,10 @@ internal void RebuildCells() // Sort CT_Cols by index asc. _row.c.Sort((col1, col2) => col1.r.CompareTo(col2.r)); + + // Cache is invalid after rebuild — keys may have changed + _cachedFirstCellNum = -1; + _cachedLastCellNum = -1; } #endregion @@ -805,6 +835,45 @@ private int GetLastKey() { return _cells.Keys.Max(); } + + /// + /// Update cached min/max on cell addition.
