I've suspected for a while that you can getter better performance using thread-per-connection on Java. I've never actually tested this theory though. There are certainly a lot of scenarios where you can get lower latency using thread-per-connection because you don't have the overhead of queuing.
Perhaps we should start looking seriously at implementing thread-per-connection IoServices for MINA so we can do some apples to apples performance comparisons between NIO, IO, and APR. -Mike Stefano Bagnara wrote: > Today I found another blog post on the "usual" topic: > http://mailinator.blogspot.com/2008/02/kill-myth-please-nio-is-not-faster-than.html > > > Is this FUD or a new trend that MINA should take care of? > > Is there any plan to support standard IO as a transport for MINA based > applications? > > It would be useful to understand how a MINA based application could > "switch back" to multithreaded standard IO and result in better > throughput on modern JVM/OS. > > Thank you, > Stefano > >
