CMP performance

[Justin Chu]

Just created a simple CMP EJB with 10 records in the table. The table contains 14 columns.
I'm using SilverStream 3.7.2 on Solaris with ample supply of memory. EJB 1.1.
I've created a simple page to findAll() (return all rows).
The load time is
1160ms (first load, added overhead of initializing Home bean)
827ms
807ms
822ms
804ms
If I click on reload multiple times quickly, I get load time of up to 10 seconds.
Is this the normal performance you can get from EJB in general? Or just CMP? Or is it just that SilverStream's slow?

I've fine tuned the EJB to only have coarse grained accessor methods that returns a value object instead of individuals variables.
Now, my page has exactly 10 rmi calls..
The speed has reduced from 800ms to 500ms.
