使用JMH测试日期格式化的性能

人们惯常的观念是，构造SimpleDateFormat对象是比较费时的，一般都会使用ThreadLocal来做一个性能优化。本文使用JMH对SimpleDateFormat、Apache Commons Lang FastDateFormat、Java 8 DateTimeFormatter三者的性能做一个对比测试。

                .forks(1)
                .warmupIterations(5)

                .build();

        new Runner(opt).run();
    }
}

时间格式化其实并不耗时，就算每次都要创建SimpleDateFormat对象，耗时也是微秒级别。FastDateFormat性能最好，DateTimeFormatter性能也很好，二者比SimpleDateFormat的性能都有巨大的提升。但是SimpleDateFormat使用ThreadLocal之后，差异就很小了。DateTimeFormatter是thread-safe and immutable的，其实是不需要放到ThreadLocal里面的。
