Hey guys,

I'm working on a geo spatial application using Qi4j to model the domain specific parts. I ran into trouble with the performance and memory consumption.

It takes ~30s to load 10.000 entities (consisting of ~100k ValueComposites of different types). After loading all this eats up ~100MB of RAM. This is to slow and to much.

10K entities are not much for a GIS application. Given the current memory foodprint (and 1GB Java heap) not even 10 users can work with the application concurrently.

Usually a GIS application works in a pipelined mode when rendering features (entities). Memory is never a problem with that architecture. Unfortunatelly Qi4j holds all entities of an UoW in memory. We discussed this earlier on this list. So I added a cache SPI to UnitOfWorkInstance. This works but it does not actually cure the problem of memory consumption because of the time needed to re-instantiate the entities.

Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.
