Hello... As the continuing saga unfolds, after jserv installation, I found the P200 machine that we are running the site on is sort of SLOW. (Black Down 1.1.7 green threads). Since there is no jit involved here my programmer got to work and started doing all of his string operations different. Especially string concatentation. You see all the results where being concatenated together. It took 3 minutes to return 87 items!! Now if I could only write a letter and tell Microsoft they should do the same performance improvement with thier software.... :) Well, he redesigned the algorithms in question and he got it down to about 3 seconds!!! All I have to say is WOW and don't you wish you could get that kind of improvement just rethinking how you string those characters together in say, C???? :) Right now we have the green threads running of 1.1.7. Anyone running the native thread implementation??? Is it better or worse? Given this enourmous increase in performance, is there any site on the internet that has general tips and tricks for optimizing interpreted Java code? -gc PS: What how you manipulate those strings boys and girls... ---------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives and Other: <http://java.apache.org/main/mail.html/> Problems?: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
