Recently, we've been doing some load testing of apache (1.3.x) w/ tomcat 4.1.29 & 5.0.19 and were surprised at how slow it was responding on our redhat linux testbed system. We did some comparisons to a Win2k tomcat server, and the Win2k server *BLEW* it out of the water in terms of speed and load limits. After some mucking around, we narrowed down the difference to the java implementation. We switched over from sun's java jdk1.4.2_04 to IBMJava2-141 and saw some speed improvements and huge differences in load limits, i.e. it could scale much higher.
I was wondering if anyone had experienced any problems due to switching to IBM's java, and if so what they were. Also, if anyone has any hints, links, or general advice on how to speed things up, be it tomcat tuning, or java, it would be very appreciated. The windows box, while not able to scale as well, does generally respond in 1/4 the time of the linux box. Thanks in Advance, any advice is appreciated. -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | Nicholas Bernstein | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | UNIX Systems Administrator | http://www.docmagic.com | | Document Systems Inc. | | | gpg: F706 8C4E 78FA DDDD 53A0 019F D983 FE28 2002 D1F3 | +---------------------------------------------------------------+ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
