Yes, it actually works well on appropriate OSes (for example, on recent Linuxes), and the CPU wasted is not significant. Of course, it's a lot better to conserve resources if possible, it's possibly unfair for some requests (which will wait more than others), and it's more difficult to control concurrency in the business logic which could lead to excessive locking (however, the said business logic might be much simpler due to the easy to work with programming model). -- xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Rémy Maucherat Developer & Consultant JBoss Inc xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
