This is way cool.

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.
