⚡️ Speed up method StringUtils.indexOf by 157%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 157% (1.57x) speedup for StringUtils.indexOf in rewrite-core/src/main/java/org/openrewrite/internal/StringUtils.java

⏱️ Runtime : 3.00 milliseconds → 1.17 milliseconds (best of 139 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization hoists text.length() into a local variable len and caches the predicate reference as t, eliminating repeated virtual method calls inside the hot loop. The original profiler shows the loop condition (i < text.length()) consumed 74.1% of total time at ~1596 ns per hit, while the optimized version reduces per-hit cost to ~318 ns by querying length once upfront. Additionally, extracting text.charAt(i) into a local char c before the predicate test avoids redundant character retrieval, cutting the overall runtime from 3.00 ms to 1.17 ms (157% speedup) with no behavioral changes.
