Why is it slow on Windows? (please apologize if I might have missed
that explanation somehow)
and how is it on UNIX/Linux?


I did some tests on Windows, and posted results a few months ago in this
list. Basically the main problem is that NTFS directory  creation
operations are really slow (I'm guessing it's the journalling that's
interfering here). I must also say that I was creating something like
over 10'000 files in my tests.



Does anyone have any actual figures (especially compared with CQFS)?



have a look at http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.jackrabbit.devel/595.



thanks very much for the hint

the results of those earlier tests showed that (on a windows box) ObjectPersistenceManager w/ CQFS is about 5-6 times faster than
ObjectPersistenceManager w/ LocalFileSystem.


the reason is that the windows file system really sucks when it comes to
storing a very large number of small files & folders.


right. We also experience that when building Lenya, because
a lot of files are being copied during the build process and
people building on Windows complain about it, whereas this isn't
really a problem on Linux.

So I guess the LocalFileSystem should be quite alright when deployed
on Linux. I will try to do the same tests on Linux and will post the findings.


Thanks

Michi

I don't have figure against CQFS but I do have some against Object
serialization and my ORM persistence managers. The results are a bit
dated now but they should be indicative of the problem of slow file
creation under Windows.

You can find the results of my tests here :
http://www.jahia.org/~loom/JackRabbit_Performance_Tests.pdf

Please note these are not very scientific, I was mostly trying to check
if my ORM persistence managers where performing decently than actually
trying to spend a lot of time on testing procedures.

 Serge Huber.
