OK. I did a stupid thing that flawed all my measurements. I have basically ended up measuring the speed of console output ;-). Dumb Russian I am.
Todd, are you sure you have not fallen into the same trap? BETA2 is simply more verbose than ALPHA3 ;-) There are the revised numbers (with wire log disabled, 10 threads, 50 requests per thread) 2.0a3: 500 requests in 0.225 min 2.0b2: 500 requests in 0.086 min 2.0rc1 (with 'stale' connection check removed): 500 requests in 0.068 min This is closer to what I expected to see. I have always suspected that the request buffering should have made beta-versions is fact faster, not slower compared to alpha ones. 'isStale' connection check does slow things down a bit. Is anyone getting different results?
