Hi, I took a quick run with the source code from the RAR Shubbis attached earlier (thanks BTW).
The SQL we execute for this findBy is SELECT t0.warehouseName FROM Warehouse t0 WHERE t0.warehouseNr = ?. Pretty basic, and I doubt EclipseLink is doing better (certainly not 3x) based solely on the SQL. So I started digging deeper and on my laptop (not to be confused with any sort of "real" benchmark) there's a sweet spot around 100 iterations. Under 100 OpenJPA is faster. Between 100 and 125 they're comparable, and over 125 iterations EclipseLink starts pulling ahead. Environment : * Entities were enhanced by the PCEnhancer tool prior to running the tests. * Connection pooling is enabled for EclipseLink and OpenJPA with roughly the same settings. EclipseLink's pool and commons-dbcp weren't an easy 1:1 match, so I might have some investigation to do there. * MySQL Connector for Java v 5.1.7. * MySQL database running locally, Version: 5.0.67-0ubuntu6 * Tests executed in Eclipse, YMMV outside of Eclipse. * Sun JDK 5 java full version "1.5.0_15-b04" I have done a lot of hacking about with the sample application but I don't think I've violated the intent of the exercise. I'll upload the app to a jira shortly. The relevant code is in my pastebin at these links : persistence.xml : http://miked.pastebin.com/m490814b7 test01.java : http://miked.pastebin.com/m7d3df62f WarehouseDAO.java : http://miked.pastebin.com/m49ab9a0e I highlighted the changed lines in WarehouseDAO, but missed it on the others (too many lines to highlight accurately. I'm still looking, but thought this was worth sharing in case someone else sees something I've missed. -mike On Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 10:53 AM, Paul Copeland <t...@jotobjects.com> wrote: > > At one point in this thread it was mentioned that the benchmark ran much > faster on a home computer than on an office computer and the reason for the > difference was not obvious.
