More performance tests - 1.0.0 vs beta3 vs beta2

[Neale Rudd <ne...@metawerx.net>]

Hi Guys,

Some more performance tests from a Dell PowerEdge 2850 test box.

This box has sync'd disk writes (slower/failproof), 2xDC 3.20Ghz CPUs, RAID5 ext3 NFS over DRBD, 16gb RAM.
JVM spec XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xmx512m -Xms32m

"init time" is from INFO: Initialization processed in xxxxx ms line
"startup time" is from INFO: Server startup in xxxxx ms line

Railo 3.3 Custom
16.1s init + 117.6s average server startup on beta-2-wp (tc7.0.21/jdk1.6u31)
13.3s init + 15.2s average server startup on beta-3-wp (tc7.0.27/jdk1.6u31) 1.0.0 preview 055
5.2 init + 13.9s average server startup on 1.0 (tc7.0.27/jdk1.6u31) 1.0.0 official

Confluence 3.5.5
14.8s init + 40.0s average server startup on beta-3-wp (tc7.0.27/jdk1.6u31) 1.0.0 preview 055
13.2s init + 44.9s average server startup on beta-3-wp (tc7.0.27/jdk1.6u31) 1.0.0 preview 055
5.4s init + 34.6s average server startup on 1.0 (tc7.0.27/jdk1.6u31) 1.0.0 official

Scala 2.9 / Lift 2.4 Sample App
13.4s init + 45.6s average server startup on beta-2-wp (tc7.0.21/jdk1.6u31)
13.1s init + 12.8s average server startup on beta-3-wp (tc7.0.27/jdk1.6u31) 1.0.0 preview 055
5.3s init + 12.7s average server startup on 1.0 (tc7.0.27/jdk1.6u31) 1.0.0 official

Looks like your last week of changes has sped up the init time dramatically, and reduced server startup time by 10-25%.

Will post some comparisons against other EE containers soon.

Best Regards,
Neale
