Some hints are invoked very frequently by the scanner (analog to an inner loop). Querying Preferences from hot code can be expensive.
Preferences were also used outside of the hint implementation, for example for
isEnabled()orgetSeverity()queries before invoking the actual hint. This isn't visible in the hint metrics log.Caching Preferences in the hint context covers both usages. The cache is disposed together with the hint processing task.
pink sections mark Preferences queries during hint computation.
with cache enabled they are gone
