Blogging Roller

Alex(6) was busy working along side of me on what he calls a "craft" and making quite a mess of construction paper and cardboard all over my desk. I looked over at him and we had this little exchange of words:

Alex: Dad, I know what you're thinkin'.
Me: how do you know that Alex?
Alex: 'cause I got your brain inside my brain Dad.

Poor kid.

I did some stress testing of Roller 0.9.7 last night with JMeter and used it as an opportunity to compare throughput of Roller with Castor vs. Roller with Hibernate. I put a summary of the results on the WIKI. Any suggestions for improvement on this test or comments on the limitations of this test are welcome.

Part of the reason I was testing was that Matt has been having severe problems with out-of-memory exceptions. After running those tests, I let JMeter run the test plan all night long (Loop Count: Forever) and enountered no out-of-memory problems. I guess I need to get closer to Matt's config if I want to duplicate the memory problems he is encountering.
