Hi Dionisios, What you observe is the expected performance of the *internal* HTTP connector, built-in the org.restlet.jar. This connector has been redesigned for 2.0 to support advanced HTTP features such as provisional responses, pipelining, asynchronous handling and future enhancements such as unified thread pool, IO-level firewall, etc.
The initial focus has been on design flexibility for 2.0 to the expense of latency/performance. We only recommend this connector for development or light deployments. For regular performances, you should use an pluggable connector such as Jetty. See this page for configuration details: "API - Connectors" http://wiki.restlet.org/docs_2.0/13-restlet/27-restlet/325-restlet/37-restlet.html "Extensions - Eclipse Jetty" http://wiki.restlet.org/docs_2.0/13-restlet/28-restlet/78-restlet.html For Restlet 2.1, we are working of the performance of this internal connector by leveraging non-blocking NIO. So far, we obtained performances on par with extension connectors (benchmarks will come). We hope to let people feel the improvements in 2.1 M1 so stay tuned! If you want to know more about the internal connector design, please see this page: http://wiki.restlet.org/developers/172-restlet/354-restlet.html Best regards, Jerome -- Restlet ~ Founder and Technical Lead ~ http://www.restlet.org Noelios Technologies ~ http://www.noelios.com -----Message d'origine----- De : Dionisios Lialios [mailto:d.lial...@xe.gr] Envoyé : mardi 5 octobre 2010 10:53 À : discuss@restlet.tigris.org Objet : Restlet performance Hello, I am quite new here and have just started evaluating Restlet for a project. I have tried the sample applications (for example, a simple Server Resource that just returns a simple string) and some more complex ones from the Manning book, but in all cases I can't get the response time to fall down from 160-200 ms, which is way more than what I'd like it to be. I am probably doing something very wrong; on the other hand, the documentation regarding issues like this is really scarce so any help would be very welcome.
