I came across this paper by Peter Lin ( http://tomcat.apache.org/articles/performance.pdf ). In a simple xml addressbook war he summarizes how different variables affect the speed of the application. In one test he compares: Sun X1 400mhz Ultra Sparc IIe - 5 requests/sec AMD 2ghz XP - 25 request/sec It appears that both used Tomcat 4.1.19 and Sun Jdk1.4.1_01
In an attempt to see what todays numbers look like I rebuilt the war ( svn co https://maven-examples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/addrbook ) and deployed in my environment Core i7-3720 QM @ 2.60 GHz SSD disk java version "1.7.0_45" apache-tomcat-7.0.42 package the war - mvn package execute jmeter - mvn verify Jmeter shows my Throughput of 2.2 requests/sec ! With all the advances over the years ( or overhead ) are we just slowing down or are one of our results flawed ? ( I am running in VirtualBox - I think this would slow some things down - but not this much. ) Are others seeing similar results ? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
