Speed of message distribution?

[Robert-M-Muench]

@lempiji Coming back to this one. Did you run any benchmarks of rx? I really would like to see those... but I'm not sure if I'm knowledgeable enough to come up with a good one.

OK. I will try to compare the many filtered Observable with the simply switch-case version.

However, when looking at usage examples such as rxjs, it is used to handle one kind of event such as click.
Using filters and Observable as a method of classify and dispatching messages may be expensive.

@Robert-M-Muench I wrote a benchmark.
https://github.com/lempiji/rx/blob/dev/benchmarks/subject-put/source/app.d

The result of a simple method was much slower than expected, so I thought about a faster way.

A simple filter-subscribe model is slow, because the number of Observers to put is large.
Observer is internally managed as an array, which takes time to process linear orders.

In particular, it is important not to subscribe a lot to one Subject.
For this, you should split the SubjectObject moderately.

By the way, though I thought about writing with switch-case, I gave up because it was difficult to generate code.

Thanks for the benchmark, great stuff to learn RX better.

What I want to do with RX is, to use one stream for Windows messages to my app and split them into different streams (like a mouse-click-stream, windows-resize stream, etc.) so that any component subscribes to the messages it's interested in.

Using the array approach now, which works great. I think this is a generic pattern and might be added/integrated to RX as a new observable type? Maybe something like an observable array/group that uses this approach internally?
