Howdy, Have people read this article? I find it interesting. If you haven't, it's a benchmark comparison of a java.nio-based server with tomcat 5. The benchmark server is tiny and contains only a small subset of functionality. I am also not sure of how representative of the real-world this benchmark is, because all clients are set to keep-alive. Is that typical? What else do people think about this article?
Complete BS ;)
The model will only work for select few applications. What if you have processing that requires 1s ?
We're building an application server here (I hope). NB I/O vs B I/O is simply the same as comparing cooperative mutitasking with preemptive multitasking. The first one is way easier to implement in a very efficient way, but in practice there's a reason why everyone switched: it just doesn't work, except for special, controlled environments.
IMO, the underlying OSes need to be fixed (Linux 2.6 does this, I believe).
Note that this is not about classic I/O versus NIO: NIO can be used in either blocking or non blocking modes.
