I would second Remy's sentiment about XML and concurrent processes. I've performed benchmarks with Java and C# on a P4 2.4ghz machine.
with 2-4K of XML 10-15 concurrent processes with consume roughly 60-70% of the CPU. With 30, you're going to hit 90-100% of the CPU. At that point, more concurrent requests to Tomcat or any webserver for that matter will be starving for CPU cycles. peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
