I think Ian's blog posts [1][2] best detail what we ran into.  In short, our
usage started going outside the intended usage of JCR.  We found that we
have a lot of data editors and the amount of ACL changes we make are not
conducive to using JackRabbit.  JR worked great until we tried to destroy it
with a couple hundred threads writing data.  Reads looked good the whole
time but writing that much made JR sad.  I spoke with Ard of JR at ApacheCon
and in email about our usage.  He wasn't surprised of our findings given our
amount of writes.

The resource resolver and resource provider have been invaluable to us.  The
resource layer in general has made our work much easier.
