I have read that Suse linux team has been working closely with AMD to support AMD64, and I am going to try their commercial product (professional edition, $130). I know that SUN plan to have an AMD64 version for the JDK 1.5, which should be next year. The reason for choosing the Linux OS is

I imagine that you could compile an AMD64 kernel, and compile Postgresql for AMD64. But you still might have a poor performer with a 32-bit jdk. You could put Postgresql on a separate AMD64 server and Tomcat on a 32-bit X86 server, but that may or may not be what you want. Compiling a kernel

Ok, I read the PostgreSQL docs. It looks like AMD64 version is only workable under kernel 2.6. The good thing about the new kernel 2.6 is that FWIK you can have as many process/threads as you want cause it handles order of magnitudes more than kernel 2.4. I would also watch blackdown.org release

I'm no expert on Servlets so I'm not sure what's involved with all those calls, but it doesn't seem like it could be anything that takes 500ms. Have you tried running top while this is going on? You can set it to update quickly so that you can see what's taking up the processor, if anything.

Howdy, First of all, how fast was the forward call on another platform? OTOH, 500ms for the line of code you gave below is not that atrocious. Both the getRequestDispatcher and forward calls are not lightweight. Yoav Shapira Millennium ChemInformatics -Original Message- From: Yonatan

The same application is deployed on multiple Windows boxes, with excellent performance (unless there is a heavy DB query involved, with a fast network and client machine the response seems to be instant with servers that should be dwarfed by this one). As we start to provide hosted services,
