⚡️ Speed up method StringUtils.isBlank by 17%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 17% (0.17x) speedup for StringUtils.isBlank in rewrite-core/src/main/java/org/openrewrite/internal/StringUtils.java

⏱️ Runtime : 1.11 milliseconds → 954 microseconds (best of 129 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization caches string.length() in a local variable and stores each string.charAt(i) result in a local char before passing it to Character.isWhitespace, eliminating repeated virtual method calls and bounds checks inside the hot loop. Line profiler data shows the loop body (charAt + isWhitespace) originally consumed ~99.8% of function time across 200,027 iterations; the hoisting cuts per-iteration overhead and aids JIT optimization, yielding a 16% runtime improvement. The trade-off is negligible: slightly higher memory use for two stack locals.
