JFA finally admitted that Tomcat's APR-NIO is faster then JDK one ;) However last time I did benchmarks it was much faster then 10%. > > Maybe someone could comment on the performance improvements in MINA > 2.0? He probably compared MINA's Serial IO, and that is not usable for production (jet). I wonder how it would look with real async http server. Nevertheless, benchmarks are like assholes. Everyone has one.
Exactly! Incidentally SUN has been trying to attack several projects via the performance angle for some time now. Just recently I received a cease and desist letter from them when I compiled some performance metrics. The point behind it is was that we were not correctly configuring their products. I guess they just want to make sure things are setup to their advantage. That's what all these metrics revolve around and if you ask me they're not worth a damn. There is a million ways to make one product perform better than another depending on configuration, environment and the application. However is raw performance metrics as important as a good flexible design? Alex
