How good is Jboss 5b4 performance?

[tdanecito]

Has anyone compared Jboss5b4 performance versus Jboss 4.2.2GA using the same app?

I am curious I am getting 4-5msec response at my java client time using:
Server- JBoss 4.2.2GA using Java 1.6.0_05 and JAXWS 2.1.3 on Windows 2000 professional with AMD64 X2 5200+
Network - 1Gbps

Over the internet it varies but anywhere from 70-25ms from around 1500 miles to 10 miles respectively.

Thanks,

Beta4 is slower. On my Windows desktop it takes twice as long to start Beta4 as 4.2.2. Which is pretty good, Beta3 took 5 times as long.

I have also noticed a long wait (several seconds) to access the first page of the jmx console, and again when accessing the first mbean in the jmx console. In 4.2.2, I usually get the response back in under a second. But after that the pages are served quickly (less than a second)

I haven't really tried out any other performance measures. But usually most of the performance changes go in after the release candidate and before GA. This has been the pattern for the last several releases in which I have tracked this.

Thanks PeterJ what you said does make sense. I will hold off a while longer on trying JBoss 5b4 until the production release.
