Then I understood I even need continuous performance testing, as I discovered that some apparently minor refactorings o my code could have an impact on performance. And as it's usual for continuous practices, the point is to be aware of the change as soon as possible, so you an track it down to the cause.
Forgot to say that my experience was also about very different performance with different operating systems, but this wasn't due to low level code as the one we're discussing about, rather to the imaging libraries in the runtime, so it probably doesn't affect you. - -- Fabrizio Giudici - Java Architect, Project Manager Tidalwave s.a.s. - "We make Java work.
