Todd, There's one benefit of compiling HttpClient locally: you could try ripping the 'stale' connection check and see if it makes any difference.
Another guess I can come up with is that this problem may be somehow platform specific. I ran my tests on Redhat 9 with Sun JDK 1.4.2. I'll try to execute the test on one of Win2k boxes that I have at my disposal. Please double-check on the wire logging. I would still consider it a primary suspect Keep us posted Oleg -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 29, 2003 5:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: performance issue Well ... there must be something different about my environment. The results with JBoss3.2.1-tomcat4.1.24 were much worse! (I decreased threads to 5 and messages per thread to 10 since tomcat defaults max threads per servlet somewhere and I didn't want to dig for the setting.) alpha3 .034 minutes beta2 .167 minutes Could it be the jdk? I'm running 1.4.0 on XP Pro service pack 1. I could try downloading and installing the most recent version of the jdk, running the test on a different machine ... hmmmmm. Also, I'm using the binaries off of the site rather than compiling from source against the jdk on my machine. Unfortunately, I won't have time to work on this any further until later this evening :-( Todd -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
