I recently switched over to developing my software for Java 8, and I've been slowly improving my use of Java 8 and becoming comfortable with Java 8, and in doing so I've started implementing more and more functional interfaces, and recently NetBeans has started to suggest that I swap some of my for loops over to functional interfaces, but from the way the program is running it seems much slower than simply using a for loop (1.9 sec runtime vs. .9 sec respectively). So my question is-- is it worth using functional interfaces in the place of for loops? When in general should one use functional interfaces? Are functional interfaces more efficient in some other ways? Thanks in advance.
When to use functional interface? (Java 8)

if your lambdas do not use many capturing variables, then i believe that the performance will be more comparable to a standard for loop. the the advantages of using lambdas are easier parallelization (although for ordered streams this could potentially result in slower performance), and an easier to read syntax. also be aware that the hotspot compiler will change the results over time (your first loop execution will most likely be slower than your last).
i do not know the specifics, but in the worst case situation, you lambda may be implemented as an anonymous class. in the best case, it will just be a MethodHandle.
a quick test:
the results:
for a parallel stream the results where actually slower (around 2x on my machine) because the stream was ordered and each thread has a lot of synchronization overhead, compared to the work being done (just
result = i
)
