I copied from beanutils. *Speed results* Test#1 Test#2 Direct 30 30 (one VM, main thread) Piped 350 160 (one VM, three threads) Socket 1202 811 (two VMs, standard thread per connection style) RMI 3765 2624 (two VMs, standard thread per connection style) (all times in millis for 1000 invocations) Test#1 invocation of "speedTest()" Test#2 invocation of "String speedTest(String str)" Bizarrely, test #1 is always faster than test#2. I'll upload shortly. Regards, - Paul H -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
