Using =emacs -Q= to tangle org files with more than over 100 noweb-refs gets slow fast.

Given this org code for N=2:

#+begin_src org :tangle 2.org
  ,#+begin_src elisp :noweb yes :tangle 2.el
  <<some-reference>>
  ,#+end_src

  ,#+begin_src elisp :noweb-ref some-reference :tangle no
  ;; comment
  ,#+end_src

  ,#+begin_src elisp :noweb-ref some-reference :tangle no
  ;; comment
  ,#+end_src
#+end_src

and this macro for benchmarking:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(cl-defmacro bench (&optional (times 100000) &rest body)
  (declare (indent defun))
  `(progn
     (garbage-collect)
     (list '("Total runtime" "# of GCs" "Total GC runtime")
           'hline
           (benchmark-run-compiled ,times
             (progn
               ,@body)))))
#+end_src

and the org-babel-tangle-file call with gc-cons-threshold at most-positive-fixnum:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (let ((gc-cons-threshold most-positive-fixnum))
    (bench (org-babel-tangle-file "2.org")))
#+end_src

Using Gcc Emacs 28.0.91 (which I typicall use) I get these results:

| N blocks | runtime | # of GCs |
|----------+---------+----------|
|       10 |   0.027 |        0 |
|       20 |   0.049 |        0 |
|       40 |   0.121 |        0 |
|       80 |   0.391 |        0 |
|      160 |   1.426 |        0 |
|      320 |   6.765 |        0 |
|      640 |  23.972 |        0 |

so roughly it scales like:

#+begin_example
0.8x (10-20)
2.5x  (20-40)
3x  (40-80)
3.5x  (160-320)
4x  (320-640)
#+end_example

Though I'm not sure how much that can tell us... my guess is noweb-ref's don't use a dictionary with =O(1)= lookups?

Out of curiousity I also benchmarked emacs 27.2 which came with org 9.4.4 and it gave roughly the same results:

* emacs -Q (emacs 27.2/org-9.4.4)
** =gc-cons-threshold= most-positive-fixnum

| N blocks | runtime | # of GCs |
|----------+---------+----------|
|       10 |   0.031 |        0 |
|       20 |   0.054 |        0 |
|       40 |   0.142 |        0 |
|       80 |   0.445 |        0 |
|      160 |   1.641 |        0 |
|      320 |   6.478 |        0 |
|      640 |  25.729 |        0 |

Hi,

I can reproduce the slow down with my config. The culprit is
~org-element--cache-verify-element~. Significantly decreasing
=org-element--cache-self-verify-frequency= yields a 5x speedup.

Perhaps the frequency of the second
: (< (random 1000) (* 1000 org-element--cache-self-verify-frequency))
call in ~org-element--cache-verify-element~ should be decreased.

Regards,

Thanks for the nice benchmark and for providing a test case!

You are using stable version of Org. We did some important performance
improvements on main. The same benchmark using latest main (26decec):

| N blocks | runtime | # of GCs |
|----------+---------+----------|
|       10 |   0.030 |        0 |
|       20 |   0.067 |        0 |
|       40 |   0.065 |        0 |

|      640 |   2.225 |        0 |
|     1280 |   9.221 |        0 |
|     2560 |  36.966 |        0 |

And with disabled self-verification code:
(setq org-element--cache-self-verify nil)
| N blocks | runtime | # of GCs |
|----------+---------+----------|
|       10 |   0.078 |        0 |

There is ~80x improvement.

However, the scaling is still not quite linear:

[-- Attachment #4: benchmark2.png --]
[-- Type: image/png, Size: 9706 bytes --]

[-- Attachment #5: Type: text/plain, Size: 5111 bytes --]


So, there is still some power-law nonlinearity in the tangle code.

Benchmarking revealed the following:
        8259  95%               - org-babel-tangle-file
        8259  95%                - org-babel-tangle
        8170  94%                 - org-babel-tangle-collect-blocks
        3620  41%                  - org-in-archived-heading-p
        3600  41%                     org-before-first-heading-p

Showing that nonlinear scaling comes from regexp search.

Caching org-before-first-heading-p improves the performance further (see
Org 9.6-dev no self-verify + patch curves):

| N blocks | runtime | # of GCs |

|       20 |   0.106 |        0 |
|       40 |   0.136 |        0 |
|       80 |   0.157 |        0 |
|      160 |   0.139 |        0 |

|     5120 |   4.651 |        0 |
|    10240 |  16.745 |        0 |

The profiling gives:

       16817  63%                    - org-babel-tangle-file
       16280  61%                     - org-babel-tangle
       16200  61%                      - org-babel-tangle-collect-blocks
        1360   5%                       + org-babel-tangle-single-block
        1210   4%                       + org-babel-get-src-block-info

Most of the CPU time is spent in org-babel-tangle-collect-blocks, which
is basically another regexp search for all the source blocks in buffer.
The scaling is still slightly non-linear - maybe your source block
regexp is too complex:

(defvar org-babel-src-block-regexp
  (concat
   ;; (1) indentation                 (2) lang
   "^\\([ \t]*\\)#\\+begin_src[ \t]+\\([^ \f\t\n\r\v]+\\)[ \t]*"
   ;; (3) switches
   "\\([^\":\n]*\"[^\"\n*]*\"[^\":\n]*\\|[^\":\n]*\\)"
   ;; (4) header arguments
   "\\([^\n]*\\)\n"
   ;; (5) body
   "\\([^\000]*?\n\\)??[ \t]*#\\+end_src")
  "Regexp used to identify code blocks.")

On the other hand, the test data is already within quite non-realistic
over 5000 number of blocks. Probably, further performance improvement is
not very useful (we already have some overheads at smaller N).

Best,
Ihor

Even with verification, we already have 10x speed improvement. I do not
recommend decreasing verification frequency. Not until we make sure that
there are no more lurking cache bugs on main. You might do it in your
personal config, but please be careful and make sure that you have
backups/version control your Org files.

This is nice work. Well done on all you and others have been doing along these

After further investigation I found that it was not the problem with
source block regexp. The code was doing an extra backward regexp search
to find current headline. When there are no headlines in the Org file,
that search created quadratic scaling.

After caching the backwards search, the performance is further improved:
