Hi all, Has anyone seen used Apache Portable Runtime (APR) in conjunction with Solr and Tomcat? Has anyone seen (or better, measured) performance improvements when using APR?
APR is a library that implements some functionality using Native C (see http://apr.apache.org/ and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Portable_Runtime) >From wikipedia entry: <quote> The range of platform-independent functionality provided by APR includes: * Memory allocation and memory pool functionality * Atomic operations * Dynamic library handling * File I/O * Command argument parsing * Locking * Hash tables and arrays * Mmap functionality * Network sockets and protocols * Thread, process and mutex functionality * Shared memory functionality * Time routines * User and group ID services </endquote> I could imagine benefits in file IO as network IO. But that's pure conjecture. Comments? thanks in advance
