Hi I've also recently conducted a performance test on windows and hp platform on 32&64 bits. The tests were originally done to check the overhead of a wrapper to POI which allows sending data in buffer and break excel files according to criteria (max length field/cell values ...) I've used poi 1.10. Basically the 1000 rows test is less than 1 sec, but the tests are up to 750,000 rows. The results are in the attached excel Mikael.S

Except for brief pauses due to garbage collection, the rate is resonably consistent. I've tried inserting 5000 rows with 42 cols each. Attached is a graph showing this performance, the behaviour should be pretty obvious (and its quite what you would expect). The code follows, tell me I didnt do anything stupid! public void testPerf() { HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook(); HSSFSheet s = wb.createSheet(); HSSFRow r ; HSSFCell c; long t = System.currentTimeMillis(); long newT =0; for (int i=0;i < 5000;i++) { if (i % 100 == 0 && i>0) { newT=System.currentTimeMillis(); //System.out.println("Rows " + (i-100) +" to "+i+" inserted in " +(newT-t) + " ms - at " + (100000/(newT-t) + " rows per sec")); System.out.println(100000/(newT-t)); t=newT; } r = s.createRow(i); for (short j=0;j<42;j++) { c = r.createCell(j); c.setCellValue(i+j); } } On Tue, 2005-06-14 at 07:44 -0400, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Thats some odd time.
