Hi,
I'm getting similar figures. They partly have to do with the transactional mode. Using nodeLockingScheme="pessimistic" is better by roughly a factor of three, which is similar to not using any transaction at all.
Pessimistic and optimistic schemes are deprecated in favour of mvcc, however, and non-transactional isn't a real alternative either.
In any case, the figures are still way off from what I'd expected them to be. Would be nice to hear from the developers whether this is about it or whether we/they can tweak the performance noticeably.
Regards,
Gerret
