Dre, >Alan be reasonable, lower your thread count man!!
I have, I have - it's back to 96. The results of my trials and errors bear out what you say. At 96 it normally makes no difference, we run with < 15 requests most of the time. When it does make a difference (and it's not when we get legitimate slow running threads either - only when we overload) then it is a way of avoiding queuing. I'll have a go with the java file i/o, but I can't do much about the request times. The request times on the non-legacy pages are pretty good - usually 100 ms or less. When we get the file back we always have to disassemble it and format the reply to customers - sometimes this loop processing itself can be simple or can involve 400 sql hits (now made into array lookups - faster than cached queries) as we look things up. While it's waiting for the reply it's doing java sleeps, so taking very few resources.
