Matt,
Thanks for this. I think that we have nothing to be ashamed of here
- M5 is our first fully certified release, and now that we're "in the
club", we can start really focusing on usability and performance.
Given that we never focused on performance before, I'm sure there is
a ton of low-hanging fruit to go after, and we'll see progress in
leaps and bounds.

I have performance tested M5 (or thereabouts) using DayTrader (a
performance sample in Geronimo currently located in the sandbox).
The results of the testing I think are quite compelling as Geronimo
just passed CTS certification at M5.
I used a metric called a "Target" in the testing. This metric is
comprised of Open Source and Commercial AppServers. As we make
changes to improve performance when we meet the "Target" we will be
competitively positioned.
The WebContainer primitives are a bit misleading as they are really
contrasting Jetty (Geronimo's default) Tomcat and commercial
offerings. We need to fix Geronimo to improve performance by
allowing HTTP logging to be disabled.
As we move up the stack and include higher level functions (like DB
read and writes) we find that Geronimo is well positioned against
the target. Prepared Statement caching will move us to close to
the target I expect.
The EJB primitives may seem poor at the moment. Although, my gut
tells me that we are copying parms inappropriately and we'll make
significant performance improvements as we address this issue.
Overall Geronimo is within 70% of our competitive target for Trade
Direct Performance which is awesome. This metric includes
Servlets, JSPs, EJBs and messaging to name a few of the J2EE
artifacts. At this point in the cycle we should be able to close
the gap and make our competitive target by 1.0.
Attached is a set of slides that explains the testing, benchmark
and results. Please take a few minutes to review and hats off to
the team so far. We are going to make Geronimo a force to be
reckoned with by 1.0 which is coming soon.
- Matt
