Hello all!
After reading and hearing about the performance that can
be gained by using thread pools, I made a simple thread
pool implementation.
On my Linux machine (PII266/64) running jdk1.1.6-v2 (sbb),
I got a 0.15 ms/thread reduction in thread start-up overhead.
(The test was iterated 60000 times.)
Is a 0.15 ms reduction really worth the effort? A server would
have to have a very large amount of hits/second before
0.15 ms makes any difference.
Has anyone else experimented with pools? Are there any good
articles on the subject available somewhere?
