But such a big project should be performance tested. Premature optimization is not what I am after. Of course we are going to performance test. However, if Stripes layout has known memory issues from day 1 (for us) then I might lean towards Tiles from the start b/c (a) I already know Tiles and (b) I am not a fan of manual server restarts (especially when it spans 8 application servers over 4 virtualized containers :-) > Just do a test with and without a template engine and compare the results. > I did so and realized a super duper performance gain without layout > engine.

Was the memory ever reclaimed by GC or was it a memory leak? If there is no memory leak and it just means a performance penalty of X and an increase in heap temporarily of Y then that would be easier to deal with and then yes sufficient hardware could make it work. --Nikolaos > Regards, > Richard > > On Sat, May 1, 2010 at 12:27 AM, Nikolaos Giannopoulos > <nikol...@brightminds.org> wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I came across the following reported against 1.4.3: >> >> http://www.stripesframework.org/jira/browse/STS-391 >> >> While I have used Tiles and am OK with it, Stripes Layout seems nice and >> being built-in makes me lean toward it more. >> However, this thread on Tiles being "less memory hungry" worries me. >> >> We are building a large scale application that initially starts with 6 >> large dedicated servers. >> >> Should I be concerned? >> >> --Nikolaos >> >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >> _______________________________________________ >> Stripes-users mailing list >> Stripes-users@lists.sourceforge.net >> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/stripes-users >> >> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Stripes-users mailing list Stripes-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/stripes-users
