My suspcion is its because I effectively get parallel garbage collection. For example I end up with 2 smaller heaps for gc rather than one larger heap and whilst one heap may be locked during a gc cycle, the other instance may be running fine with half the client load. Thus it appears that the maximum response times are less with the two instances and this affects the overall average. With the two instances I *may* also get higher availability, since if 1 instance crashes, I still have one left to service requests. regards Rob
