⚡️ Speed up method Matrix4f.invertLocal by 45%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 45% (0.45x) speedup for Matrix4f.invertLocal in jme3-core/src/main/java/com/jme3/math/Matrix4f.java

⏱️ Runtime : 140 microseconds → 96.4 microseconds (best of 79 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimized invertLocal() stores all 16 matrix fields in local variables at method entry, then references those locals throughout the cofactor computation, eliminating ~32 field accesses. Because Java fields incur memory-load overhead (even for instance fields accessed via this), the JVM can keep locals in registers, cutting per-access cost. The second change inlines the final scalar multiplication (fInvDet) directly into the field assignments instead of calling multLocal(), removing method-call overhead and allowing the JVM to fuse the divide with the 16 stores. Profiler data shows the optimization increased per-call time from 140 µs to 96.4 µs (44% speedup), though some lines report higher individual times due to JIT noise. No correctness regressions occurred; all tests pass with identical numeric results.
