Re: [seam-dev] Initial performance findings and baselines

Jay, This is definitely a good start; great work! Any plans for a sustained load over time (e.g. an hour)? I know in performance and scalability testing I've been involved with in the past, there were products that performed well for short duration tests that fell over when we did our 24 hour load test. -Rodney Jay Balunas wrote: > Hello All, > > I have been looking at Seam 2.1 performance and begun profiling the wiki > example.
