Jessica, we're using Castor JDO in a production environment of a web-based application for about two weeks now. Though there are about 500 users working with the application, i wouldn't consider it a real heavy-load environment. I would estimate there are about 10-20 users active at a time.
We use rather basic features of the product only. Castor (version 9.3.9) proofed to perform pretty stable. We had to work around a few bugs during development (e. g. a long term transaction issue when updating rows). We recently had an issue with simultaneous modifying actions on a table (we're using SQL Server 7.0, which does table locking), but we worked around it by synchronizing the update methods (this isn't really beautiful, but it works finally).
