Hi all,
This may be a bit off the wall, but I'm trying to squeeze out the most
performance out of Jetty that I can. However I have some constraints that
I can't change in the near term. Specifically:
1. I'm using a relatively ancient version of CXF (2.2.12)
2. I'm *not* using keep-alive
What I'd like to reach is about 180 SOAP operations per second (OPS) on
this jetty server, which is simulating a 3rd party server. It seems that
it takes Jetty ~350ms to negotiate the SSL connection. So what I'm seeing
is I get about 3 (technically 2.96 consistently) SOAP OPS with the Jetty
instance. If I turn on keep-alives, then my performance goes through the
roof (I see it take about ~20ms, but I think this is multithreaded) to
about 150 SOAP OPS.
So without any heroics, is there a way that I can push jetty to get better
performance without setting keep-alives to true on my client?
The reason for lack of keep alive connections is I'm trying to make sure
that under load I can still negotiate the SSL connections. Since I talk to
third parties through this interface I don't want to assume they'll have
keep-alives turned on.
FWIW, I also have client authentication turned on.
Here's some relevant config about my server:
ClientAuthentication clientAuth = new ClientAuthentication();
clientAuth.setRequired(true);
clientAuth.setWant(true);
I'm using very small keystores and truststores (1-2 entries each). And I
have the TLS cipher suites limited to a dozen or so trusted cipher suites.
Thanks!
