Dell - Internal Use - Confidential Marshalling and unmarshalling is indeed inefficient, being CPU intensive, which competes for cycles with the main processes. JMS appears to have internal queuing, persistence to disk, and Asynchronous transport acknowledgements. It would be good to relieve the CPU pressure by using parallel processing in the stream, perhaps tux.

We are going to try to push back and redesign the process to just simply make use of JMSAppender to put messages on a queue and have JMS clients consume them (and ultimately insert the logs into a database -- maybe use JSON for messages). The MQ runs within an integration broker, hence an initial idea of routing logging SOAP/service calls through the same broker that handles/routes other web services. This whole marshalling and unmarshalling is very inefficient, on top of a fact that this proposed logging service is entirely internal to begin with.
