I am really trying to understand performance issues. I agree with you that real-time apps will suffer, but if I am writing a controller for a get plane I would not use any O/R mapping tool obviously. You really want to run on bare metal there.
So, real-time app definition is quite fuzzy and I personally think that it is quite ambiguous term. Back to my question, we are actually working on network policy appliance (think layer 7 packet switching). Can this qualify as close to a real-time application. It depends if you ask network guy or the application guy :) I think that we are close enough to worry about performance and to be diligent to do anything that can speed up any layer of application (short of going directly into assembly code :) ). This is the reason why I asked the question. If someone can tell me that writing result maps will give me 10%,20%,30% performance improvement that will tell me something. Beside all of this I am really just curious from the geekness factor on why is there a difference. Thank you for your answer.

But for jet fighters, it's a different story. This is an off-topic, if you want discuss further, please discuss with me via e-mail.

Not trying to be confrontational, but do you mean like the difference between writing controls for a jet fighter vs. retrieving an account balance? I've always thought they were both 'realtime'. Just a difference in semantics, I'm sure, but I am curious what you mean.

I could not find any more info about why is this a case!? Can anyone elaborate on this? Is this because reflection is slow in general? -- -- Chris O'Connell Application Developer Gorilla 312.243.8777 x19
