Hi ,
Steve, I think what Andy is saying is that your results are mainly looking
at the overhead of the library itself (you are persisting to an in-memory
DB). In real world apps the overhead of the persistence library layer
compared to end-to-end latency of network, DB, logic etc etc would make
this difference much much smaller. As an example take this program and the
conclusion one could draw from it:
public static void main(String[] args) {
long start, end, noslflatency, withslflatency;
start = System.currentTimeMillis();
for (long i = 0; i < 10000000000L; i++) {
}
end = System.currentTimeMillis();
noslflatency = end - start;
start = System.currentTimeMillis();
for (long i = 0; i < 10000000000L; i++) {
log.debug("Here is a log line with a single parameter {}", i);
}
end = System.currentTimeMillis();
withslflatency = end - start;
long fasterPercent = (withslflatency -
noslflatency)*100/noslflatency;
System.out.println("Using SLF4J is " + fasterPercent + "% slower
than not using it even when no logging happens");
}
*My Result: Using SLF4J is 51% slower than not using it even when no
logging happens*
I'm sure you would agree that in a real world program, adding logging that
does not log does not make it 51% slower...
As for me: I use JPA where it adds value/speed to the development cycle and
where performance is paramount I use native queries. Between them, we are
doing over 100M transactions a day on TomEE with response times on SOAP
services of about 15ms avg. TomEE and JPA can perform no problem.
But back to the original question - the issue must surely be a config issue
and if the poster could provide more details then I'm sure we can help.
