Delay in process runtime

[lordbinky]

Hello,

I am having a problem when we run a process on a Dell box using Jboss version 4.2 it takes 4 minutes. On my machine it takes 18 minutes. When we updated to Jboss 4.2.2 the problem seems to go away and runs fine on both machines. I don't think that there was anything wrong with either machine.

Can you help me determine what it is about my system that makes it run slower with the particular version of JBoss? Do you think there might be other differences that have not been discovered yet?


The Dell specs are:
Dell Poweredge 2950 2U
2x Xeon 5130 (or Opteron equiv.)
8gb RAM
2x Gbe NIC (onboard)
2x 160gb w/ 1x 160gb backup (hotspare)
Dell PERC RAID controller
CD/DVD
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5

My Specs are:
Supermicro MBD-X7DVL-i
2 Xeon 5130 DC 2.0
4 DDR2 2GB PC2-5300 FB-DIMM
3 Seagate 160GB SATA 3.0 8MB (raid 1 w/ hotspare)
3ware ESC 9550SXU-4LP
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5

I have not seen any significant startup time differences between 4.2 and 4.2.2 on any of the machines that I use (usually I get around 30 second startup, on Windows and Linux, though on my new quad-core box at home I am getting 15 seconds, Windows and Linux).

Look at the console log and see if there are any noticeable pauses between log events, that might help pinpoint where the issue might be. Usually on something like this I suspect network request timeouts. I don't know if 4.2 is making network requests that 4.2.2 no longer makes.

The delay seems occur on "SSL entropy generator".

I hope that helps.
