jakarta verisign transaction slow?

[Tim Tyler <ty...@beloit.edu>]

   Jakarta experts,

We are running Jakarta 5.0 on an AIX 5.1 system.  We have never worked with 
jakarta before.  We seem to have it successfully installed.  We are using 
it to make financial transactions through Verisign's Payflowpro java 
programs.   As far as we can tell the transactions appear to be successful, 
but rather slow.  I don't know if slow is a perception or if there is 
something we can do to improve performance.  Tech support at Verisign 
suggested the slowness would be at our end if we are in fact slow.  We see 
posts take 13 seconds and longer.  My first question is what should our 
expectations be with regards to how long a transaction might take?   Is 
there anything we can configure that might make java programs that run 
through Jakarta go faster?
   Note: We are using jdk 1.4 underneath.  If I left out any important 
information, please let me know.

What does that mean? From initial network connection through end of
transfer, or until the response arrives, or?

In any case, I've been using POST to connect via SSL to credit card
authorization services from Tomcat 4.x through 5.5.x and never seen
any performance issues like that (though not on AIX).

I would put some logging statements in to try to track exactly what's
happening.

FWIW!
