Direct buffers outpeform heap buffers if the content of the buffer is not modified at all. A proxy might be a good example. > Pooling direct buffer hurts performance, but probably can bring down the > memory footprint. Some users might want to control over memory usage??? MINA doesn't have any control over how direct buffers are managed by JVM. The management strategy can be very different among various VMs, so we removed support for pooling in 2.0. Because we think it's still premature to tell which management strategy is best for most VMs, it's user's job to manage direct buffers for now. Ideally, JVM should be able to manage direct buffers very efficiently so nobody doesn't care about direct buffer allocation.
