In case someone is interested in how these performance numbers for Derby
10.3 compare to other open-source databases, have a look at the last
four slides in the following presentation:

I have run some simple performance tests comparing the 10.3.1.0 beta
build against 10.2.2.0 to check the effect of the various performance
improvements that have gone into 10.3. The first test measure the
throughput of reading a random record from a table while the second
test runs "TPC-B like" load (each transaction consists of three
updates, one insert, and one select). The from these tests are attached.
As the graphs show, 10.3 contains large improvements in the
performance, particularly for read-only load. For reading random
records 10.3 has more than 3 times the performance of 10.2 (on this
test configuration) when there are concurrent clients. Great work!!
The tests were run on a dual AMD Opteron machine running Solaris 10
and JDK 6.
Some more performance data comparing 10.3 to 10.2.2 can be found here:
http://home.online.no/~olmsan/derby/perf/
This page shows the results from a daily run of trunk and compares
the performance using 10.2.2. as baseline.
