That sounds a bit odd to me. A well designed webapp or ejb shouldn't have horrible performance for 10 concurrent users. If you're using stateful EJB's you may want to profile it first. Without knowledge of what the app does, my first guess is something in the app is eating up all the CPU and memory. If the app has been profiled aggressively and you know it's not the app itself, i would say install the app on JBoss and compare the performance. If you have hard numbers with the same app, it is much easier to get people to listen. you can also d/l weblogic and see how it performs. keep in mind weblogic has a limit of 10 concurrent connections, so if you need to load test with more than 10 connections, you'll have to smooze the BEA sales guys. You should be able to get them to give you a temporary one month license with unlimited connections, since they are trying to win customers from IBM. there are several old benchmarks comparing various servlet containers, which may or may not help. If you use ejb, those results won't do much for you. if you provide more details, you'll get better help :) peter lin

We have had horrendous performance / stability problems even with 10 users and even IBM cannot seem to help. Production is currently sitting pretty on a rushed install of SuSE 9 on a Dell desktop with 1gig RAM and Tomcat. What I am after is opinions / a comparason someone has done (weblink?) / docco about Java webservers performance looking at iSeries, Intel, Sparcs etc. They are into the iSeries/WebSphere 4.0.5 mindset, but no one can answer why this was the recommended setup and they seem to be fixed on this route, but no-one can make it work! There is nothing else on WebSphere other than this app, so if I can get some info, I then actually have some stats / papers to help recommendations, if IBM cannot fix this in the next couple of days (they've had level 1 guys on it for 6 weeks). Anything would be a great help.
