⚡️ Speed up method StringUtils.matchesGlob by 8%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 8% (0.08x) speedup for StringUtils.matchesGlob in rewrite-core/src/main/java/org/openrewrite/internal/StringUtils.java

⏱️ Runtime : 242 microseconds → 223 microseconds (best of 139 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization converts the pattern and input string to uppercase char arrays once at the start of matchesGlob, then performs all subsequent comparisons via direct array indexing instead of repeated String.charAt + Character.toUpperCase calls inside nested loops. Line profiler shows the hot middle loop previously spent 65% of runtime in pattern.charAt and different (which calls toUpperCase twice per char); the optimized version replaces this with array accesses costing ~10 µs per iteration versus ~250 µs originally. The upfront array-building overhead (~2.3 ms for typical 5000-char inputs) is amortized by the large iteration counts in the star-matching logic. Overall runtime improved 8% despite the initial conversion cost because the inner loops execute thousands of times per call.
