Gang - I recently got wind of the following web framework performance talk that was presented at JavaOne:
https://oracleus.wingateweb.com/published/oracleus2011/sessions/24122/S24122_234496.pdf I did not attend, but based on the slides it looks like the presenters did an very thorough/systematic job of evaluating performance/scalability for a handful of web frameworks, including JSF. (I also have to say that they slides are simply beautiful - wow!) I wanted to call attention to this talk because I am concerned about one aspect of the results. Looking at slide #73, it seems that the presenters are seeing significant overhead in the MyFaces test runs (ie. vs. equivalent runs in Mojarra). I don't have any details other than the $ numbers included in the slides, but seems quite possible that there is some low-hanging fruit waiting to be picked (or optimized). Is anyone acquainted with the presenters? Perhaps it would be worthwhile to contact them to see whether it would be possible to take a closer look at the test case? Andy
