Maybe this will help answer your question. Actors are cheap, but not free. There are cases where using an actor-per-request pattern has more benefits than performance detractors. Per method call? I think that would depend on how often that method is called? Per-request may be a better granularity. If that request generates 100 method calls, then maybe you would notice actor overhead. That said, the ask pattern uses an optimized actor per call as well, and is often used wherever a synchronous callback is needed. What would be the benefit of your "Micro Actor" over Akka's built in support for 'ask'? I have a feeling that ask will be even more micro, due to internal optimizations not available to normal actors. -- >>>>>>>>>> Read the docs: http://akka.io/docs/ >>>>>>>>>> Check the FAQ: >>>>>>>>>> http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/additional/faq.html >>>>>>>>>> Search the archives: https://groups.google.com/group/akka-user --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Akka User List" group.
