For sure it uses a thread to remove entries if you specify the use of the shrinker and the elements are not eternal.
If you just want a limited size LRU map, you may look at Jakarta Commons Collections. -----Original Message----- From: Debasis Bhattacharyya [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2008 11:43 AM To: jcs-users@jakarta.apache.org Subject: Does JCS use multi-threading? As I see, some time JCS memory cache is slower than expected. I am comparing with my hand-coded memory cache using hashMap. JCS is much slower than the other one. This trade off is compensated by features like shrinking, expiry etc, I believe. Now, question here is will JCS be faster in an multi-processor server? It can be faster if it uses multi-threading internally to do jobs like cleaning, expiry etc. I thought of asking the community before checking the code. Any comment? Thansk in advance. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
