We, with Sanne doing most of the work, managed to get that down to 3 Gigabytes per second (I would have loved to get it to 2).  Much of that was Hibernate allocations, and of course that was with pooling on.  We have not spent the time to pinpoint the exact differences, memory and other, between having pooling on vs. off.  Our priority has been continue to scale the workload and fix any problems we see as a result.  We have managed to increase the transaction rate another 15% in the last couple of months, but still have another 17+% to go on a single JVM before we start looking at two JVM's for the testing.

In any case, what I really really would like for us to achieve is a default implementation that performs generally well on all usage patterns, with no tuning required. Since we know that initialization can be costly for some applications usage of SLSB, such an implementation will definitely require a form of pooling.

I would expect something better then this :-)))
