Marc, Don't forget that hardware is cheap compared to man-hours. If you're writing tissue-paper code (write once, never modify, throw away when broken), "script kiddie" languages are great. If not, be prepared to eat it in the long run on man hours / maintennance. I think that the use of the tissue-paper "methodology" flies in the face of OSS. Why bother to open-source your IP if nobody will ever read it and you're just going to throw it away anyway? I'm glad to hear that this is a stopgap solution.
BTW, thanks for providing a real-world case to justify my PHP allergy :) - Matt -----Original Message----- From: marc fleury [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2003 2:56 PM To: Jboss-Development@Lists. Sourceforge. Net Subject: [JBoss-dev] PHP problems OK so we are really in a bind here. The script kiddy code may be functional, this lack of caching is really killing us. The site is pegged at 100 with dips at 50% on occasion but all in all the profile looks pretty bad. The Java code was 3 times faster. I feel good on one hand because this is yet another point in the "cache is king" category but it is also horrible scalability. It also makes the website next to un-usable since the response time is so bad. Next time I hear some ignorant bozo tell me apache is fast and c is fast and java is slow I take my baseball bat and smash his head in. I am tired of the rampant ignorance even among the geeks. It is just amusing at this point. We need to port the functionality we use in the website one to one with EJB's backing it up and offering some caching so we can multiply the speed by 10 and go back to our usual 10% CPU utilization. JNUKE will be a killer project. marcf xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Marc Fleury, Ph.D. President, Founder JBoss Group, LLC xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Jboss-development mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-development ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Jboss-development mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-development
