## 7. Performance Optimizations

### 7.1 Batch Directory Operations
```java
public class BatchDirectoryOperations {
    private final DirectoryLeaseManager leaseManager;
    
    public List<SmbFile> batchExists(List<String> paths) {

        double totalTimeMs = (end - start) / 1_000_000.0;

        System.out.printf("Overall Performance Test: completed in %.2f ms%n", totalTimeMs);

        // Should complete very quickly with all optimizations
        assertTrue(totalTimeMs < 100, "All operations should complete quickly with performance fixes");

        pool.close();
    }

SIG Scheduling development efforts have been primarily focused on improving performance and reliability of the scheduler.
- Performance of the inter-pod affinity/anti-affinity feature is improved over 100X via algorithmic optimization.
- DaemonSet pods, which used to be scheduled by the DaemonSet controller, will be scheduled by the default scheduler in 1.12. This change allows DaemonSet pods to enjoy all the scheduling features of the default scheduler.

from OkHttp 4.x:

**OkHttp is now packaged as separate JVM and Android artifacts.** This allows us to offer
platform-specific features and optimizations. If your build system handles [Gradle module metadata],
this change should be automatic.

**MockWebServer has a new coordinate and package name.** We didn’t like that our old artifact
