    • Generally you should have to create only one FormulaEvaluator + instance per Workbook. The FormulaEvaluator will cache + evaluations of dependent cells, so if you have multiple + formulas all depending on a cell then subsequent evaluations + will be faster. +
      • +
    • You should normally perform all of your updates to cells, + before triggering the evaluation, rather than doing one + cell at a time. By waiting until all the updates/sets are + performed, you'll be able to take best advantage of the caching + for complex formulas. +
      • +
    • If you do end up making changes to cells part way through + evaluation, you should call notifySetFormula or + notifyUpdateCell to trigger suitable cache clearance. + Alternately, you could instantiate a new FormulaEvaluator, + which will start with empty caches. +
      • +
    • Also note that FormulaEvaluator maintains a reference to + the sheet and workbook, so ensure that the evaluator instance + is available for garbage collection when you are done with it + (in other words don't maintain long lived reference to + FormulaEvaluator if you don't really need to - unless + all references to the sheet and workbook are removed, these + don't get garbage collected and continue to occupy potentially + large amounts of memory). +
      • +
    • CellValue instances however do not maintain reference to the + Cell or the sheet or workbook, so these can be long-lived + objects without any adverse effect on performance. +
