There seems to be something terribly weird going on. Your application looks like a corner case. On page like that, I wouldn't be surprised if there was penalty using SecondLevelCacheSessionStore, but the numbers you've posted are way too bad to be caused by wicket itself.
My guess is that your model objects are extremely heavy. Maybe with references to your processing layer as well. Of course this will not work with 2nd level cache session store, as the whole thing is serialized. Normally you detach your models so the data kept in memory/session/disk is significantly reduced. I think secondlevelcachesessionstore should be usable for you as well, but that would require not serializing everyhing, rather then that just keep things in memory and "inject" the dependencies on deserialization. -Matej On 9/10/07, Alex Objelean <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Indeed, it is a very big component hierarchy (It contains at least 3 levels > of nested AjaxTabbedPanel components). > The application is, in fact, a single page and it uses a lot of ajax to > perform the updates.
