| Existing solution | Proposed solution |
|---|---|
Because the existing solution uses a regex, all nodes in anchor 3 need to be examined to see if they match the regex. | Because the proposed solution uses sub-queries to look up each path component, only relevant nodes are examined. |
|
|
If the number of nodes is doubled, the number of xpaths checked against the regex is also doubled (linear complexity).
| If the number of nodes is doubled, the same number of nodes is still scanned in this case (constant complexity).

Detailed Performance Comparison
Proof of Concept
A proof of concept (poc) implementation was developed so that performance could be compared against existing Cps Path query algorithms.
Test

setup
These tests below were performed using Groovy/Spock tests, directly calling the CPS-Service Java API (thus these tests do not include any HTTP overhead as when REST APIs are used).
