There is a mix of small and huge use cases and it depends on the current throughput how the cluster perform. The loadbalancing is not a big extra effort. If you you double the number of nodes you get a factor around 1.8-1.9 but the benefit will be a bit less as more you add. We test above to 20 instances. One thing you have to remember, we work without big inter-node communication, so no cache/session replication, it is a pur EJB application. I suppose if you have such replication the benefit will be less than my one. hope this answer your question, if you have additional questions feel free to ask ;) -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/612067#612067] Start a new discussion in Performance Tuning at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
